Thank you for your response. I agree completely with what you say. My apologies, I thought you were one of those people who say that without a doubt everything can be answered by quoteing a verse or two. I agree that the whole Book must be read in order to even begin to comprehend what and who God is. Thank you for responding yourself and not letting others speak for you. I find your repsonse much more to the point than others. God bless. | ||||||
22 | Putting 2 and 2 together | Rom 14:12 | Schmythe | 89948 | ||
Amen. Although I hope this does not reflect your view of all pastors. I myself am not one, but I have met some who truely do promote the Word of God. Someday i myself hope to be one of those. God bless and may He guide us all. | ||||||

I think that the best way for anyone to help me is to pray that God will keep me strong and steady down the path that He desires me to travel. | ||||||
24 | Big mouthed Christian, or no? | Rom 14:12 | Schmythe | 90005 | ||
Ezekiel 33: 8, 9 "When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself." It is always our duty to warn others of their mistakes. God bless. | ||||||

I think we have the same view on this subject. While the Bible may not address issues such as things like Cocaine, the answer can still be found there. The Bible, is a guide on how we should live, and though a specific word might not be there, there are always similar situations. All of lifes questions can be answered with this one book, sometimes it just requires more than knowing a few verses, but also knowing the intent of a whole chapter, book, or the entire Bible. Thank you for the point you make sometimes I can forget this myself and it is nice to have someone bring me back to reality. God bless. | ||||||

Maybe I can help a little. Romans 6: 23 "for the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." Now just looking at the first part it says that if we sin we will die. That's all there is to it so for someone not to die they must be sinless. Before we return to Elijah I would like to point out he was not the only one to be taken in his bodily form. Another was Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. It says in Genesis 5: 24 "He enjoyed a close relationship with God throughout his life. Then suddenly, he disappeared because God took him." Now also we can, i feel, safely assume that to walk close with God is to follow his will. And His will is not to sin. So, we can once again assume that Enoch did not sin. Hence death was not given to him for his sins. If we follow this same reasoning it must also be assumed that Elijah lived his life without sinning. On a slight side note, in Revolation 11: 3 it says, "And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth." One of these could possibly be Elijah that God will call into service during these times. However this is just a speculation and I have no way to prove it. I hope that helps a little, sorry if not. God bless. |

first off, when using the Bible you might want to make sure you spell things right, especially when trying to MAKE A POINT. I wasn't trying to disprove this statement. I was simply trying to write my opinion down. Also I wanted to tell you that I do like your point about the death being that spent in eternal fire and damnation. Another point that I think might be over looked is that in theory Jesus could have come to these men. Since it says the only way to the Father is through Jesus, this may have allowed him to take them up. I would be interested to know what you think in regards to this. Also I have read other posts by you and I must say you do seem to speek with a spiritual knowledge. I pray that what you pass on brings others closer to God. God bless. | ||||||

I apologize for not including scriptural reference for that last part. Also i did not mean the spelling part as an attack and I apologise, now that i read it it does seem a little rude, so i would once again like to ask your forgiveness for that. As you can see my spelling is never perfect either. nor am I, that is why i do enjoy listening to other's interpretations of the bible, perhaps they have seen something I have missed. But now on the subject of Jesus being with Elijah. John 1: 1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." I think we can both agree that Jesus is eternal and has been with God and in God since the beginning. Now here is the part where we may differ. Genesis 3: 8 "Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden." Now it is my interpretation that this is God in his physical form, which is Jesus. This is where I gain my belife that God (Jesus) was walking with them. Finally it says in Exodus 33: 20 "But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live." The only way it is possible for us to see God is in the form of Jesus. Genesis 5: 24 "Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away." If he had seen God the father, he surely would have died, so it must have been Jesus who came down to take him away. I hope this is a little better explained than before. God bless and once again i apologize for my tempermental answer earlier. |

First off let me say that I take what you say to heart, as I do with all who have the intention of spreading God's word. Although i take offence to the statment that i "misinterpret the fact that “the only way to the Father is through Jesus.”" Not because i believe i am necissarily right in my interpretation, but because only God could correctly interpret his word. This may be your interpretation, but nothing more, just as the same can be said for what i write. Secondly I am curious if ou view what i write as "profane and vain babblings". If so that is not the intent and perhaps you are in the wrong place if you do not think questions should be allowed, or discussion. Also I hope you have read the post I made moments before this reply. Finally, Ezekiel 33: 8, 9 "When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself." We are more responsible for others that your statment would lead one to believe. God bless, and as a precaution to my previous messages, please feel free to point out any place that I seemed rude and i will do my best to correct that and in advance i apologize. | ||||||

well Moses did not see his face. Exodus 33: 20-23 "But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live." 21 Then the LORD said, "There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen." the explination for Jacob, could be that it was Jesus. But yes you are right, although we may dissagree on these issues we are still brothers in Christ. May God bless you, and provide you with the knowledge that only he may give. |

Once again it seems that I am in the wrong. I apologize for implying that you should leave this site. Anyone who is intent on spreading the word of God I am sure is welcome. Now that I have apologized I would hope that you will be able to forgive me for my rudeness. Also I hope that others would look at the notes i've made that have scriptural refference, in addition to the ones i've made with the mistake of leaving them out. Others here (not you George) seem to be very quick to make judgements on my knowledge of scripture without actually dicussing anything with me. Well to all I have but one thing to say. May God bless you and make the wonder of his glory be seen by all. | ||||||

What you say does make sense, however there is one point I disagree with. You say that it could not have been Jesus because he was not born yet. If you were to read John 1: 1-3, 14 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made...The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." Also if you will read my previous note, in not all of them was I as forgetfull as some and I did include scriptural reference. | ||||||
