201 | 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 |

202 | 70 0r 75 souls out of Egypt? | Acts 7:14 | Love Fountain | 26947 | ||
Dear 8414 walter, From the Zondervan NIV Study Bible as follows: Jacob and his whole family, seventy-five in all. Although the Hebrew Bible uses the number seventy(Gen 46:27; Ex 1:5; Deut 10:22), the Greek translation of the OT (the Septuagint) adds at Gen 46:20 the names of two sons of Manasseh, two of Ephraim, and one grandson of the latter. This makes the number seventy-five and is the number that Stephen uses. Hope this help. Bless you, Love Fountain |

203 | Moses killed why was he still choosen to | Acts 9:15 | Love Fountain | 31189 | ||
Dear sassybrown, Two thoughts come to my with your question. The first is that Moses has not been judged by God yet, because judgement is at the end of this age and second, Moses was a chosen vessel just like Saul who became Paul as stated in the following verse, Acts 9:15 15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: KJV Paul was a big time bad guy as Saul. Read the book of Acts and by his own words he tells you how he persecuted and partook in the death of many Christian families (men, women and children). That was his job as a Pharisee appointed by the high priest. Hope this helps, Bless you, Love Fountain |

205 | No Joyce Meyer?????????????????? | Acts 17:11 | Love Fountain | 27245 | ||
Dear Shell, Nolan and Kalos have made some good points. Please excuse me for butting in, but I want to share with you how I can relate to what you are going through. It can be frustrating or challenging to put your faith into a man or a woman, and just when you really like the message they are giving you hit a brick wall and discover or hear a negative that makes you want to turn away. Whether it is from the horses mouth, or from an outside source we cannot help questioning the soundness and morals of the those we look to for guidance in the Word. I read the Bible almost daily and quite often listen to the radio or watch those on the TV. I find God works in incredible ways. I will read a scripture one night and the next day He teaches me things I was reading the night before from the mouths of people I watch on TV and listen to on the radio. He also teaches me things from people that I interact with during the day in my work world, people that don't read the Bible, people that don't know that I read the Bible are teaching me through their mouths things that I study with the Holy Spirit. I know it is not the people teaching me it is the Holy Spirit that is telling me to keep studying the Bible and learning the love that God has for me and the Holy Spirit that is showing me that God is in control of every situation I come across in my walk towards understanding His will. My point is, I think we need to hear what Joyce Meyers says, we need to hear what John Hagee says, we need to hear what all those presented to us have to say so that we can know and learn the differences between what the Bible teaches and what men and women are teaching and look for similarities or differences and then go to the Bible for confirmation or further pursuit of understanding and continue to ask questions. The one thing I have learned is the Bible will answer all questions we have and we need to dig into the scripture and pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus and also seek help utilizing the resources and people we can reach. Sometimes I look at it as though the truth is scattered like a jigsaw puzzle and everyone I come in contact with has a piece of the puzzle to offer and my job is to recognize which piece they are holding and go back to the Bible, which is the key to the puzzle, and put the piece back where it belongs. Bless you, Love Fountain John 7:37-39 |

206 | Is it wrong to have pictures of Jesus? | Rom 1:23 | Love Fountain | 27603 | ||
Dear Johnny, Please help me to understand how you say,"Bible taught us to worship Him in Spirit and truth", and then to understand 1Cor 11:14,15 when Paul speaks about hair, you think he is talking about the physical hair on our heads and relate this with worship in Spirit. How does physical hair, which is corruptible, on the head of a man or woman have anything to do with worshipping or understanding in Spirit and truth, which is uncorruptible? My understanding is that you are saying if I have hair to my shoulders then I am shameful? I thought God looks at the heart? Wouldn't it be considered vain to care how long a persons physical hair is? I don't think God is vain. Please help me to understand, thanks. Bless you, Love Fountain |

207 | Does satan's army have military ranking? | Rom 8:37 | Love Fountain | 41080 | ||
Dear Mercey, I agree with CDBJ, and would like to explore on the word principalities in a singular tense as principality by definition. In the Webster's Ninth New College Dictionary the definition of the word principality is 1a: the state, office or authority of a prince (remember Eph 2:2, satan is called the prince of the power of the air) b: the position or responsibilities of a principal(as of a school) 2: the territory or jurisdiction of a prince: the country that gives title to a prince 3: plural: an order of angels - see CELESTIAL HIERARCHY Then I looked up celestial hierarchy and it says, celestial hierarchy (noun)1883: A traditional hierarchy of angels ranked from lowest to highest into the following nine orders: 1) angels 2) archangels 3) principalities 4) powers 5) virtues 6) dominions 7) thrones 8) cherubim 9) seraphim I can't say that I have read the ranking of angels in the Bible according to my Webster's but I do find it interesting that most of the words are used in the Bible and the definition of the word principality, links to the word celestial hierarchy. I am not sure what you mean by "territorial spirit rank"? I would guess that satan has made many false promises to those who shall follow him and by his false promises many are deceived through their beliefs in his words which are always lies. John 8:44 He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. KJV Satans kingdom is among many other things, greed driven and within greed we find inequality and within inequality we find uneven levels of order which allows interpretation of various orders of rank. Bless you, Love Fountain 1 Cor 15:40 40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. KJV |

Dear heisthe1, I do not so easily underestimate the enemy nor do I agree with punching satan as you stated to CDBJ. We are taught in the Bible not to fight evil with evil and to punch anyone is evil in my belief. I do not read Gen 1:2 with the same understanding as you as a referrence to a lack of order on satans part. Satan has order but his followers do not follow in his plan because they are to busy fighting eachother trying to be number one in their pursuits of self exaltation, pride and greed among many other traits the Bible lays out for our witness. Bless you, Love Fountain Matt 10:16 16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. KJV |

209 | Nature teaches a man to have short hair? | Rom 14:1 | Love Fountain | 40423 | ||
Dear quik 76, Thank you for the question. The referrences to hair in 1Cor 11, are in reference to a spiritual veil, not physical hair. A woman needs to keep her spiritual veil on(long hair) and a man must not put on a false spiritual veil(long hair). A good example of where we can see the difference between the physical(flesh) understanding and the spiritual understanding is found in 2Cor 11:2. Paul says we are espoused to one husband and that we are to be presented as chaste virgins. This is not meant to be understood as physical virgins but as spiritual virgins. We are spiritual virgins when we are cleansed from the lies of the world through the reading and understanding of the Bible. I hope this helps. Bless you, Love Fountain Eph 5:25-32 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

212 | what is the state of the dead in Christ? | 1 Cor 5:8 | Love Fountain | 36286 | ||
Dear Mommapbs, You say,"There are two individuals in Scripture who did not experience physical death (Enoch - Gen 5:24 and Elijah - 2 Kings 2:11)." I was reading in 1Cor 15:35,36 as follows, 1 Cor 15:35-36 35 But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?" 36 You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies; NASU Please don't take offense, I am not name calling here. My point is that in the verses above in 1Cor 15 and in the verses to follow as we read the remainder of Chapter 15 we are told that unless the natural(flesh) body dies it will not be raised into a spiritual body. How does this fit into what you have stated regarding Enoch and Elijah? Also, many believe that Moses and Elijah are the two witness in Rev 11. It appears you believe Enoch to be in place of Moses, but what about the fact that the dead body of Moses was buried by Jehovah and was never seen? Deut 34:5-6 5 So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. 6 And He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor; but no man knows his burial place to this day. NASU What do you think? Bless you, Love Fountain |

213 | what is the state of the dead in Christ? | 1 Cor 5:8 | Love Fountain | 36290 | ||
Dear Mommapbs, Thank you for the thoughts and the response. Please find attached commentary notes below, for another thought, Deut 34:1-8 Deuteronomy 34:1-8 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan, Verse 1-8. 1 a. Moses went up ... unto mount Nebo (ASV). Moses walked alone the ascent of no return, away from the promised land to the top of the mountain ridge on the west of the plains of Moab, opposite Jericho, to Mount Nebo. The panorama of Israel's sworn inheritance is described as it appeared looking first towards the northeast, thence westward and south, back to the plain stretching between Jericho and Moses. 2. The Western Sea (RSV); i.e., the Mediteranean, lying beyond the hills of Judah, is not naturally visible from Nebo. 4 b. Thou shalt not go over thither. Cf. Deut 1:37; 3:26; 4:21-22; 32:52. Though not now able to enter the land, Moses beheld its northern mountain peaks, on one of which he, with Elijah, was afterwards to stand and speak with the Mediator of the New Covenant concerning the exodus he must accomplish at Jerusalem before he might cross over into the heavenly inheritance (cf. Matt 17:3; Mark 9:4; Luke 9:30-31). It was necessary for Jesus to die before entering his rest, because he was the true Mediator who came to reconcile his sinful people unto God; Moses must die without entering the typical rest because as the OT mediator he had by official transgression disqualified himself for completing the mission which prefigured that of the sinless Son of God. Unlike Moses, who after his death was succeeded by Joshua (Deut 33:9), the Messianic Mediator would succeed himself after his death because it was not possible that death should hold him. 7. Nor his natural force abated. Moses, though 120 years of age (cf. 31:2; 7:7), did not expire of old age, but by the command of God, who by His sovereign word creates and destroys (Deut 34:5). On the location of Moses' burial (v. 6), see 3:29; 4:46. On its sequel, see Jude 9. (from The Wycliffe Bible Commentary, Electronic Database. Copyright (c) 1962 by Moody Press) and, Deut 34:6 Deuteronomy 34:6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. [No man knoweth of his sepulchre] Hardly, lest the grave of Moses should become an object of superstitious honor, because the Jews were not prone to this particular fore of error. Bearing in mind the appearance of Moses at the Transfiguration (Matt 17:1-10), and what is said by Jude (Jude 9), we may conjecture that Moses after death passed into the same state with Enoch and Elijah; and that his grave could not be found because he was shortly translated (transported) from it.

214 | what is the state of the dead in Christ? | 1 Cor 5:8 | Love Fountain | 36591 | ||
Dear Mommapbs, Forgive me if it appears to you that I am arguing with you. I am here in this forum to discuss and debate in a Christ like manner. If I have not done so thus far I am truly sorry and will try harder. You said,"I wonder what the devil and Michael were arguing about over the body of Moses, maybe this is an indication to us that we should not either! Just a thought! Am I Michael or the devil? Just kidding! Please answer the following question so that I can better answer what I believe regarding the fact you have stated, What do you believe physical death is? Bless you, Love Fountain Luke 12:2 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. KJV |

215 | what is the state of the dead in Christ? | 1 Cor 5:8 | Love Fountain | 37982 | ||
Dear Mommapbs, Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I believe it is truly a gift that you and I are able and allowed to think our own thoughts and make our own choices, I think this to be called freewill. Freewill is an incredible gift. We can choose to believe and follow that which is good or that which is not good. That which is good can be followed by reading the Bible, which I believe God has written to all His children on a personal basis. There are many parts to the body of Christ, it is like a puzzle. Christ is the border of the puzzle. He is the foundation, the side walls and the ceiling and we fill the body or middle. Christ is the most important border pieces which hold the whole puzzle together and all pieces must fit within the borders He has laid before us, which is His word. You are courageous to open the thoughts of your heart before the forum as you have done in this post and I find interest in your thoughts and thank you for sharing, but I must go to the word for all clarity and to test what it is you are stating. I have always been fascinated by trees in the Bible, whether it be the Tree of Life or the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. One conclusion that I have come to is that no tree can live without water. Water is the source of all life, throughout the whole universe and this little planet we now live on. Our never ending search in space travel is for water among other resources. You said life is within the blood, but without water would there be any blood? Jesus says all who come to me, I will give of the fountains of living water(John 4). In Jer 2:13, God says my people have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters. Without out water there is no existence of life, whether it be physical or spiritual. The Bible does say we are cleansed by the blood of Christ and the Bible says we are cleansed through the Word which I have spoken(John 15:3). James 1:21 say the engrafted Word is able to save our souls. Psalms 107:20 says His Word healed them. 2Tim 3:15 says the Scriptures are able to make thee wise onto salvation. 1Tim 4:5 says we are sanctified by the Word of God and prayer. John 8:32 says the Truth shall make you free. Psalm 119:50 Thy Word hath quickened me. 1Cor 4:15 says Begotten...through the Gospel and 1Pet 1:23 says we are born...by the Word of God. Everywhere we are led in the Bible, always begins and ends with the Word. Christ and the Scriptures are one and this is confirmed in Rev 19:13,"His name is called the Word of God and in John 1:1. Science has provided many insights into God and His creation. We have been allowed by God to learn many marvellous things about our chemical make up. The only caution that comes to my mind when I approach science and the focus of many in the scientific community is that they are always working towards the preservation of our corruptible and sick flesh bodies. Scripture is clear that we have two bodies, one is terrestrial(flesh) and one is celestial(spiritual) 1Cor 15:35-49. The promises of eternal life are not in the corruptible flesh body but rather in the incorruptible spiritual body, yet humans are constantly searching to preserve the flesh. As the preacher said vanity of vanity all is vanity, and I agree. When I think of the word "cell", after reading the Scriptures, I think of this mortal, corruptible, dying flesh body as a type of prison cell. A spiritual prison cell. Someone once told me Einstein was one of, if not the most intelligent men to ever live and yet he used only ten percent of his brain capacity, by someones calculation. I ask why didn't he use the other ninety percent? Many people have given me many answers to this question and I am sure I will receive many more. Ultimately I believe the true answer will come when I put on the incorruptible spiritual body we have been promised throughout Scripture. The original question I asked you was what do you think physical death is because we were talking about Enoch and Elijah and whether they had experienced physical death. The first thought I had is that flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of God,(1Cor 15:50). My thoughts are that physical death is the putting off of the flesh body. Thank you for listening. Bless you, Love Fountain 1 Cor 15:53-58 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? |

216 | Physical death in the flesh? | 1 Cor 5:8 | Love Fountain | 38008 | ||
Dear Mommapbs, Thanks for the question. You ask,"Are you suggesting that this can be accomplished while we are still "in the flesh?" When I stated putting off the flesh, I meant this in a physical sense, not spiritual. I believe we have a soul, which is our intellect and our soul dwells within a flesh body here and now on earth. When our flesh body takes its last breath, physical death, I believe our soul leaves the flesh body(terrestrial) and enters into our spiritual(celestial) body. 2 Cor 5:1 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. KJV and, 1 Cor 15:35-46 35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: 38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. KJV I hope this answers your question. Bless you, Love Fountain |

Dear Kin, I am intrigued by your persistence, but I'm not quite sure what you want to say. You keep referencing to the water which will wash away our sins. I think others are saying that we are saved by grace and baptism is an outward sign of that grace we have through Jesus. It has appeared to me that most of the baptisms in the Bible that I have looked into, before the Holy Spirit came forth it was always proceeded by the Word of God. Eph 2:8 says by grace we are saved through faith and Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. So far I'd say grace, faith and the Holy Spirit come by the Word of God which is Jesus. 1Pet 1:25 says the Word of the Lord lives forever and is the Word of the Gospel that is preached unto us and John 4:14 says that whoever drinks the water that is given by Jesus will have everlasting life. In comparison I would say that the Water is the Word which is Jesus. What do you think? I think what you are trying to say(please correct me if I am wrong) is that you feel we give way too much ritual to baptism and have somehow neglected the true meaning of what baptism is, which is eating and drinking the water of life which is the reading and absorption of the Word given through Jesus from God. Am I close? Bless you, Love Fountain |
