John 4:22-24 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. KJV Rom 2:28-29 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

206 | Are the "sons of God" pre-Fall children? | Gen 6:2 | Love Fountain | 30777 | ||
Dear Participants of this thread, The responses from this question have helped me to understand a question that was previously asked on this forum,"Why do things happen in thirds?" My response after reading this thread would be that one third choose the truth, one third choose the lie and one third choose not to make a choice. The funniest things happen to me sometimes, recently when I was listening to the radio there were lyrics in a song that said,"even though they don't make a choice, they still have made a choice." In my opinion to not make a choice would be to not acknowledge or pursue the truth and allow the lie to stay which I feel may be just as bad as believing the lie. Anyways not to change the subject, I just wanted to share something I learned by reading and observing this thread. Staying Neutral, Love Fountain |

207 | Kin, too much ritual in baptism? | 1 Cor 12:13 | Love Fountain | 29976 | ||
Dear Kin, Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. Hope you are having a Happy New Year! I would like to hear more of what you have to say and I am not in a hurry. I also am a simple person. I have two questions for you, How do you believe the right way to be baptized is for the forgivness of sins? -and- You say," I don't believe works saves you", what are works to you?, and what does "Faith without works is dead" mean to you? I agree with some of your doctrine but not all of it and this is why I ask some questions so we have ground to speak on. Forgive me if sometimes I may seem to nitpick words or the way of a wording, but I heard the Word and always believed in God in my heart but never thought twice about Him or Jesus and then one day a friend at work planted a seed in me. I talked with my friend a few more times and even went to his house for a bible study. We went right into Revelation and my mind was blown at what it said, so much that I started reading the Bible for myself. I didn't talk again to my friend for two and a half years after that because I switched companies, but the whole time I kept reading, not really understanding but seeking to understand. Just before I contacted my friend again after two and a half years of reading, one morning I woke up and couldn't sleep, it was a Saturday at about 5 in the morning, so I got up and went to read. I don't remember exactly what I was reading but for the first time the Words of God seemed to be personally written to me and I was comforted like I had never before been. Next thing I knew I was crying on the couch thanking God for forgiving me and loving me and for accepting me. Up until that point I had never repented verbally outloud, but within my mind and my heart is where my repentance was and God heard me and searched within my heart for the sincerity that only He could understand. I believe in faith and obedience in the Word too, but I believe our work is to search for the Truth, seeking to understand His will and once this is truly done with a sincere heart, I believe the Word will open up and comfort us in ways my words cannot describe. When you said,"God commands to be baptized", it is my personal belief that baptism is a washing, but a washing of the heart with the Words of Truth, not being sprinkled, poured or immersed with or within physical water but a cleansing with spiritual water that comes through Jesus, reading the Words from the Father, who is the fountain of living water(Jer 2:13) . Anyway, please answer my questions and I'll do my best to answer any you have. Bless you, Love Fountain |

208 | Only 900 "baptism" posts | 1 Cor 12:13 | Love Fountain | 29972 | ||
Dear CDBJ, You said,"this thread is 1Cor 12:13 and has nothing at all to do with water." Then you say,"it is a reference to the baptism of the Holy Spirit which every believer receives at the point of salvation." Please help me to understand how in 1Cor 12:13, we are to "drink of one Spirit" if that spirit is not water(living water), especially with 1John 5:8 in mind,"And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one". I have always understood the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to be one and Jesus to be God in the flesh and the Holy Spirit to be the spirit of God and in Jer 2:13 God says he is the fountain of living waters. I look forward to hearing from you. Please help me to understand your point of view, thank you. Bless you, Love fountain |

209 | Kin, too much ritual in baptism? | 1 Cor 12:13 | Love Fountain | 29970 | ||
Dear Robert, It has been a while since I have received this note from you and I apologize for not answering sooner. I hope you had a great New Years and Christmas. Your hope and faith touches my heart and it is obvious you have dedicated yourself to searching for the truth as I have as well. You have touched on a topic that I find myself totally immersed in, the heart. I too, like you, did not feel I was saved for only believing, except I looked at it from the point of, if all we have to do is believe why is the Bible so thick. Why has God written such an inexhaustible book if salvation was only to believe in Jesus?, this is what I would pray to understand. Yes, I do believe we are saved by grace but grace comes through faith and faith by hearing and hearing by the Word, which is the Word of God. It seems no matter what, God always takes me back to the Word. I like your reference to John 3:3, but even better I like John 3:5," Except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God". The reason this verse has so much meaning to me is because when I was recently reading Jeremiah again in Jer 2:13 we read,"For my people have comitted two evils; they have forsaken Me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. In this verse God says He is the fountain of living waters and I believe He referrences the broken cisterns to be symbols of man in the flesh body. We can go many places with water, but my point is that Jesus is the Word(John 1:1), the Living Word and both Jesus and the Word have very definite similarities in the Bible, and I believe Jer 2:13 is God telling us we need to have knowledge and wisdom within in our hearts and the lack of these is seen as evil to Him. "The blood of Jesus Christ...cleanseth us from all sin" 1John 1:7 "Ye are clean through the Word which I have spoken" John 15:3 Christ " Healed them" Matt 4:24 "He sent His Word and healed them" Psalm 107:20 "Christ hath made us free" Gal 5:1 "The Truth shall make you free" John 8:32 I believe we are saved by grace but I also believe we are to be ready when Jesus comes back as the Bridegroom and be presentable unto Him without stain, spot or blemish(spiritually), which is the great mystery Paul talks about in Eph 5. Every time I have seen so far in the Bible, when the Holy Spirit comes in unto people, it is always preceeded by the written or spoken Word and I believe it is the hearing and understanding of the Word which leads to repentance, belief, healing and cleansing. Ultimately I feel that baptism today is much too ceremonial, and I am confused by what it does. I see no spiritual significance with being baptized by a man. Please read Mark chapter 7, it is about ceremonially cleansing, God says ceremonially cleansing is likened unto cleaning cups and pots and likens it unto traditions of men, "making the Word of God of none effect". All I know is that I have never appreciated anything in my life that has been given to me half as much as the things I have worked for and to think I have eternal life based on grace and belief without having to do nothing else, just does not make sense to me. So much so that I believe God wants more from His children than I hear being taught in the world today. I am interested in your thoughts, thank you for listening to me this time. Jer 29:13 for ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart. Bless you!, Love Fountain 1Pet 1:22-25 |

210 | Trinity (again)? | Acts 2:38 | Love Fountain | 29824 | ||
Dear Johnny, Please read what I wrote to you again. Jesus said His Father is greater than He is as a symbol of you and me also being Gods children so we would know that God is greater than all His children. Are you saying Jesus is not God? If He is not God who do you think He is? Are you a Jehovah's Witness? Bless you, Love Fountain |

211 | Do demons still exists? | Bible general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 29816 | ||
Dear KamanUCI, I believe demons still exist because there is still a tremendous amount of evil in the world, I believe the demons will still be around until judgement. I believe demons exist in the form of spirits. This is what I believe, hope this helps. Bless you, Love Fountain PS, why do you ask? |

212 | Trinity (again)? | Acts 2:38 | Love Fountain | 29813 | ||
Dear Johnny, Robert has given you a very good answer, but you still have the same question you have asked others. You said,"HE said the Father is Greater than He is". I agree that Jesus did say the Father is greater than He is. Johnny, would you agree that Jesus came into the existence of flesh to save us from our sins and to be our example of how we should live our lives? Jesus is Gods gift to us, not only to suffer for our sins but also to be an example of how a true child of the Living God is to live his or her life. You are Gods child and so am I, and we are told by Scripture to take the mind of Christ. God came in the flesh to be our example of how we are to live our lives as His children. Jesus, as the Son, is an example of you, Johnny, also a son of God. The only difference is Jesus is God and you are a son, but because your Father loves you so much, He died for you, wrote the Bible for you and has sent the Holy Spirit to comfort and teach you until He returns. There is ONE God, when you are one, it does not mean one of this and one of that, just plain and simple ONE. I hope this helps! Jesus does not lie, but we sometimes need to help each other look at another point of view and ask God in our prayers for wisdom and understanding according to His will. Bless you, Love Fountain |

213 | Serenetime: Did you know . . . | NT general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 29801 | ||
Dear Kalos, Hope all is well with you! Between the holidays, a head cold and a new job, I have not been able to spend as much time on the internet lately and have chosen to study away from the web. Anyways, today I have found some time. You have spent a great amount of energy in this thread regarding Judas went to hell?. Also, it is clear you think Judas to be the son of perdition, based on John 17:12. Perdition means to perish eternally, the permanent death. The fact still remains Scripture does not say in plain words,"Judas went to hell". Why does Judas need to be in hell? This thread has made me remember a carnival we had at my grade school. There was a big jar full of MandM's and we had to guess how many MandM's were in the jar. Who ever guessed right won the jar of candy. I have a challenge for everyone who believes Judas is the son of perdition(sentenced to perish eternally). Lets put an MandM in a empty jar for everyone in the Bible that is judged to eternal damnation and after we are done searching from cover to cover, I am sure there will only be one MandM in the jar, satan's, because the Bible does not say Judas is judged. Judas did betray Jesus, but he also had a change of heart and repented. Why do people still want him to be the son of perdition(to eternally perish)? Who are we to judge whether Judas' apology was sincere enough for God? As Serenetime stated elsewhere in this thread, Peter denied thrice and the other disciples forsake Jesus in the garden. Where were Peter and the other disciples when Jesus was on the cross? If God could forgive Saul, the worst Christian Family killer of all, please explain why Judas is not also forgiven. Saul, by his own words was a Pharisee and a scholar of the law, does it not seem apparent that Saul was a big part in the judgement of death towards Jesus? When Paul says he is the least of the apostles, he is not kidding, he was a real bad guy, yet he is like a superhero. Judas merely did what Jesus told him to do and he fulfilled his role of betrayal, but I believe man has made a great mistake to judge Judas to hell as the son of perdition which I will work to show in my posting to Serenetime on this thread. I get a feeling that many scholars today, feel that we know all there is to know in Scripture, that there are no more mysteries to be revealed, man has understood all there is to know and now we are just waiting. When I read the Bible, every single time I pick it up I learn something new. If I wasn't learning anything new then I would suspect that I had stumbled. If I ever stumble, I pray God corrects me and I am not foolish enough not to listen. Anyway, it appears you are saying that Serenetime is misinterpreting something or contradicting Scripture. What it is, I am not sure. If it is that Judas is in hell, as you seem to believe, then you need to show Scripture clearly and plainly stating," Judas is in, or went to hell", which has not been done. I have to be honest, I have a sick feeling in my stomach thinking of condemning someones soul to eternal damnation based on any mans face value understanding of Gods Word. Bless you, Love Fountain I have always been fascinated by the fact that the eleven out of twelve disciples were Galileans(Midianites) and only Judas was of the tribe of Judah. Why do you think this was? |

Dear Mother, Happy New Year! I wanted to respond to what you said, "I have no idea where else to turn or how to study the Bible to get what I need". The Bible is the most incredible, inexhaustible book in the whole world. Fifty people could read the same chapter of any given book and come up with different interpretations of what they had just read. The Bible is personally written to you, to me and to all of God's other children who choose to understand the true Father and want to understand His will and what and how He would have us. In Ephesians 4:25-27 we are told that Jesus(the Bridegroom) loved the church(the bride) and gave Himself up for her and that He would present her to Himself glorious with no spots, wrinkles or any other such things, to be holy without blemish. The way to be presented without any blemish or spot is given in verse 26 of the same book and chapter we are told that HE would have us sanctified and washed with (spiritual)water by the word, His words, the Living Word which is the (spiritual)living water that we shall never thirst again(John 4:10) if we drink of it. In 2Timothy 2:15 we are told to study to show ourselves approved and in Eph 5:1 we are told to be followers of God as His children, because His children we are. Anyways, your words touched my heart and I sense you are seeking to understand and for this I have great joy and hope for you. Recently I was reading the book of Jeremiah and in Jer 17:5 it says cursed is anyone who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength whose heart turns away form the Lord, this is why I will listen to people on the radio or TV and on the internet, but ultimately I only goto the Bible. If I don't understand I pray, meditate and read again and again until God allows me to understand. This is really tough at times because I don't have much patience and I know God knows this to be true and is one of the lessons I am receiving. I am sure your experience is different than mine because we are all unique and bring different gifts to the table which help each other grow in faith. Keep searching and you will find Him. Bless you, Love Fountain |

220 | Judas went to hell? | NT general Archive 1 | Love Fountain | 28786 | ||
Dear Serenetime, Happy New Year and thank you for the enlightening posts you have submitted on this thread. I have been reading and watching this post and feel within my heart and soul to pursue the truth into the matter at hand,"Judas went to hell". Many seem to easily accept that Judas is indeed in hell through implications in Scripture and opinions of Scholars in commentaries, but the fact still remains that Scripture doesn't say," Judas went to hell". I agree with you," for who are we to judge?", as I am without a doubt a sinner and by no right do I claim anything above a sinners rightful place, but through repentance and an ever increasing search for perfect love through the Word of Truth I feel the need to show ourselves approved to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit by rightly dividing the Words of Truth and getting to the truth about Judas. I am extending an invitation to you so that we can both grow in the Truth. What do you think? I believe this should be done by two so there is a second witness, according to Scripture. I will use the KJV so we can communicate with the Strongs, as it appears you already do but I will sometimes refer to my NIV for easier reading, I hope you have one of these too. Please let me start this inquisition by going to the witness', I believe this is the place to start. Matt 26:3,4 -(3) Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,(4) And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty(guile), and kill Him.(KJV) Matt 26:3,4 - (3) Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,(4) and they plotted to arrest Jesus in some sly way and kill him.(NIV) In the above verses they are assembling to talk about Jesus and how they can deceitfully scheme to arrest and kill Jesus. These also are the individuals that strike an agreement with Judas and are the firsthand witness' to Judas' betrayal and this is a great place for us to start our search for the truth. Did Judas truly have intentions of hurting Jesus or was he set up as a victim of deceit? To be continued........... Bless you, Love Fountain Eph 4:15,16 |
