I don't understand, I have seen your other posts three times and fail to see how you could be banned and still post? Why didn't you include some scripture to back up this post, not judging, just curious. So you are William Robinson and now you are Sola Scriptura and you keep leaving posts about not chattering. Where are your scripture questions. You take the time to tell folks that something has been discussed enough and to follow the guidelines of the site. Where are your questions or answers to questions? If the site is obviously letting you participate, then particapte, I don't understand. God Bless, Tamara |

You are being a bit obtuse, I understand the reference to making sure we spare our words and that we have to give an account for what we say to God. But somewhere in there you made one huge post about being banned from this site and it was fairly wordy. Are you choosing not to share what the real nature of what you call being "banned from this site" is? Let me try to encourage you. How about this, I Peter 3:16,17 and keep a good conscience so that in the thing which your are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than doing what is wrong. We are all here guilt of breaking the guidelines of this site in one way or another becuase we are all still sinners. Why not just forgive one another? I had to learn the hard way that I should have just forgiven every one hear rather than post my hurts and admonitions to conform all over the place. Mathew 7:1-5 watch out for that log in your eye brother and watch out for that measure of judgment you mete out, God will measure it back. Have some mercy here on us poor old sinners... God Bless, the hat lady |

405 | The Hat situation? | 1 Cor 11:16 | Tamara Brewington | 204282 | ||
Any reaon this post didn't make it in my mail box? Did you follow the thread from the original question, or pick it up somewhere along the road? Transference has been practiced for so long in the church concerning doctrines large and small, you know where we take what was the intent of the author and change it to fit today's standards of society because we don't think it applies to us today... Convention was never the thrust of the question whether it was moral at the time and should be for us today or whether it is just a peice of history to be discarded and the essence extracted into a re-application for today is the question. I appreciate your post though, at least you were aiming at the part of the question about history somewhere in there. But I will try looking on the web for the Catholic Doctrine to check out your idea, I didn't realize Catholics had a doctrine on this subject. The only thing I know about the history of this thing is that people only stopped wearing hats in the beginning of the twentieth century or so. Interesting that it is seen today as something that has been unimportant for a very long time, a century doesn't compare to nearly 2,000 years... God Bless, Tamara |

406 | gifts of Spirit in Heaven | 1 Cor 12:1 | Tamara Brewington | 203922 | ||
According to some the gifts will cease except for faith, hope, love. See I Corinthians 13:8-13. This theory states that the perfect will come when Jesus comes back and puts us in a state of perfection and that all the gifts except those three will pass away. Another theory is that the believers who are glorified and changed at the rapture will be coming back to earth to rule with Christ and will be still using the gifts. But they says that even though they will know fully all things as soon as Christ knows them I Corinthians 13:12(which would kind of negate the need to have the gifts?). God Bless, Tamara | ||||||

408 | Why Holy | 1 Cor 12:11 | Tamara Brewington | 204343 | ||
Dear Carlos, I have been thinking about this for a bit and this is what I came up with; The first group of people the Holy Spirit fell on at Pentecost in Acts 2 on the Jews gathered at Jerusalem who were disciples of Jesus and they were speaking in other languages to other Jews the great deeds of God. In the end of the chapter a great many of these Jew from other countries believed after Peter the apostle preached to them and they were baptized and they also recieved the Holy Spirit. That is the fist group to be included in the church. Then the second group of people the Holy Spirit fell on was in Acts 10:34-48 Peter goes to Cornelius a Gentile and he and all of his household heard the gospel and even before they got baptized in the Holy Spirit fell on them, they spoke in tongues and then they got baptized. The third group of people who got brought in were the Samaritans in Acts 8:4-18 who received the Holy Spirit after believing in the gospel and being baptized. The fourth group of people that got brought in whom the Holy Spirit fell on where those who had the baptism of John and once Paul had them baptized the Holy Spirit fell on them and they spoke in tonuges. So there was a reason people were having the Holy Spirit fall on them in this way and in some instances speaking in tongues. God was brining the four major groups into the church. After these groups; the Jews to whom the promises belonged, the Samaritans who worshipped the right God the wrong way, all the pagans the Gentiles, and those who had received the repentance and baptism of John were brought into the church, you don't find the Holy Spirit falling on people in the Bible making them speak in tongues quite like you do in Acts. In Acts people had tongues of fire fall on them and they spoke in real languages as evidence that the Holy Spirit had included a group. God bless, the hat lady |

409 | Which One IsThe Correct Way of Baptism? | 1 Cor 12:13 | Tamara Brewington | 203721 | ||
Not one of these scriptures says to be baptized more than once by water and every one is baptized automatically by the spirit, see Ephesians 1:13,14 for proof. The idea of infant batism stems from the erroneous belief that people get saved by the act of baptism apart from first believing in Christ (Methodist, Presbyterians)because of Acts 2:38 where it says to repent and be baptized for forgiveness of sins. So they believe that the act of Baptism does the trick rather than a true profession of faith in Chrsit. The idea of full immersion stems from dying down into the grave like Jesus and coming up out of the grave and rising from the dead like Jesus and usually the words, "baptized into the death and resurrection of Jesus" are used at a full immersion baptism. Kinda hard to go down into death while you get sprinkled... And kinda strange that getting sprinkled could have the power to save without going down into death fully and rising from the dead fully, which is one reason why the Church of Christ refuses to baptize young children(besides that children can't confess Christ which they do believe has preliminary power leading to salvation by baptism), but they do believe the dunk in the water does the saving... | ||||||
410 | One Body In Christ. | 1 Cor 12:17 | Tamara Brewington | 205858 | ||
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing where would the sense of smell be? But now God has placed the members each one of them, in the body, just as He desired. If they were all one member, where would the body be? But now there are many members, but one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; or the again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you." On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; and those members of the body we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundandt honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable, whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked, so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. | ||||||

413 | what does I cor 12 : 24 mean | 1 Cor 12:24 | Tamara Brewington | 205971 | ||
Dear hrnaval, Welcome to the forum! You have to go back a pace there and see verses 22 and 23; On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable. There was a situation in Corinth of exalting one type of gift above another type of gift and Paul is using the analogy of the parts of the body to say that each part is necessary to the growth and well being of the other part in the use of the gifts. Then he starts talking about in verses 22 and 23 about answering the pride he is seeing by stating those gifts in the body that do not appear to be so very appealing, as tongues happened to appear so appealing to them, should be given more respect because they are so very needful. A good example would be this, they were exalting tongues above all other gifts, the other gifts would be those in the list in verse 28 - apostles, pastor teachers, prophets, healings, helps, adminstrations, and in that list Paul list them in order of importance. Note how tongues is at the bottom of the list, but the Corinthians have exalted that above teaching and pastoring and prophecy (which Paul calls a superior gift in chapter 14). So he says in verse 22 that the gifts which appear to be weaker than the outward gift of tongues are more needful to the body. And in verse 23 those gifts that are not being exalted like tongues should have more adundant honor bestowed on them. When we come to verse 24 Paul is saying that the more presentable gift of tongues has no need of being made more presentable, but that God has arranged the gifts so that more honor is to be given to the other gifts which build up the body of Christ which are not yet being honored, so that the gifts that are not being regarded as honorable will be given greater honor than they were before. Hope this helps, God's Day To You, Tamara |

414 | what about doing the work Jesus did ? | 1 Cor 12:28 | Tamara Brewington | 205528 | ||
Dear John, Well hhhhmmmmm. That depends doesn't it? On whether or not those gifts could be said to still be operating in the church today for one. And if not, on what scriptural basis would we say not? I also believe yes they are still operating, in fact I would broaden the scope to indclude every gift except Apostle as operating to day... Why not? The rest of the gifts could all be used to edify if we use Paul's description of how to use em in chapters 12-14 reading really particularly and carefully about the instructions about the specific way the body functions and how some of them more contraversial gifts ought to operate... But back to the narrower scope you have given here. People are still sick and still being demon possesed... So since there is a need out there for the gift why would there not still be there where with all to use the gifts in question to deliver from captivity? That is why I mentioned being an apostle, there is no more need to pant the first church, the original church got planted as the begining of all churches, so that gift did not need to continue on and besides Jesus was giving that one out personally, at least to the recognized ultimate 12 by Acts 9. It would follow then that since there is a need for casting out demons (just go to Africa and check out those Animists they need a lot of help with this, my pastor went there and saw some very strange stuff) that the gift is still operating because it is still needed... And people are still sick so there is still a need for laying on of hands on the sick... What none of us like is the charlatons who misuse the guise of these gifts and go around doing the works of the devil in the name of Jesus and making a bundle of money. Which is why so many Evangelicals have rejected these gifts along with tongues and prophecy, because they have been misused and abused... A whole lot of Christians actually do believe that people in the NT who were demon possesed were only mentally ill and that modern medicine would have resolved the issues. Like the boy with epilipsy and even the demoniac strange as that may sound. I think James gives us a pretty good example of the laying on of hands for the sick by the anointing of oil. Some don't beileve in this because they don't see the point of getting anyone smeared with oil as conferring any healing, but only the confessing of sins to the elders and the prayers of the elders. Penticostals are still using and practicing this scripture though... Although they use the oil for a number of things that I am not so sure are scriptural exactly the way they are doing it. The disciples were laying hands on the sick and healing them (Hebrews 6:2) and ordaining folks to office by laying on hands. I dunno John I heartily agree with you, but i wonder what the others here think? It would be good to get someone who disagrees in order to see the scriptures that would go with that viewpoint I say. That is why I love differences of exegesis, it can bring other light to a subject... I bet most everyone else is at work or so... God's Beautiful Day To You, Tamara |

Daiauh, You lost me over here John....!!!! I Timothy 5:23? Galatians 4:13? Does not Paul say that God decided to leave Paul's thorn in the flesh? Does that not mean that there are some things that will not be healed anyway? But what does that have to do with the possibility to their being gifts of healing operating then or now according to God's sovereign will? No one is gaurunteed healing simply becuase the gift is still around. No? Help me out here, I appreciate that different view though! God's Day To Us all, Tamara |

Dear John, I hear that you are done... Why in the world did you bring it up as if you believed one thing and then change mid stream? Remember where you started? How do we end up here, but don't bother to answer that as you are done, it is a rhetorical question and it is not meant in ill will... What was that about? Going fishing or something? Did you catch something? This time I am really puzzled, you said you believe in healing folks of demons and laying on of hands to heal folks and here it appears to be a change of heart... We were in agreement about Charlatons... But say John after posting me that you were done you went on and on and on....? Okay my brother okay, I am just here to encourage you to feel comfortable okay about whatever okay? I don't have to understand anything at all here, I just have to love all of you... God Bless, Tam |

419 | psychic vs prophet difference | 1 Cor 14:3 | Tamara Brewington | 205717 | ||
Dear Believer53, By the way welcome to the Forum! I Corinthians 14:3 But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation. We need to be carelful to have a Biblical understanding of what constituted as prophecy in the first century church here. What kind of information a prophet such as Paul was describing is a bit different than what you are sort of describing as bing a Christian and "knowing things". Prophecy is not simply a matter of "knowing things". Prophecy is about knowing "certain things", not all things. Paul is qulifiying the scope of the gift here; 1)edification - information that builds up the body of Christ that would concern everyone in the body and also separately as an edification to the body of Christ of the conviction of an unbeliever because the secrets of his heart are exposed in the congregation - see verses 24 and 25 for this part, most miss this part as part of the possilities of the use of the gift in the equation of it being valid at all today. 2)exohortation - the clarion call to use sound doctrine to address life issues and Christian practice - see II Timothy 3:16 3)consolation - the use of godly knowledge to provide comfort in distress. All of these things are done by the prophet with knowledge provided by the Holy Spirit to the prophet. A good example would be Agabus the prophet in Acts 11:27-30 who predicted a famine and the need for the congregation to send relief for the brethren in Judea. The famine did indeed occur as a recorded historical event and the relief was sent in time to provide much needed help. Do you see how this edified the body? It is not about being not doomed if you are a Christian if you know stuff and doomed as an unbeliever if you know stuff. Most self proclaimed psychics claim they are hearing from God because they believe they are practicing white magic, which presupposes that God has some dead good spirits hanging around to wait to speak to the living as "guides" in order to give life intructions to the "lost". This is a Babylonian and Egyptian practice of pagan idol worship that included "spirit guides" - there is nothing new under the sun dear... Have you ever seen Oprah? Well you aren't missing anything if you didn't, she has on a whole lot of new age teachers of vairous beliefs. She has had on a bunch of folks who will claim that they are hearing from God to tell you your business. That is being psychic, to tell you something to edify only you, not the whole body of Christ or to convict you to worship God. Do you see the difference now? God's Day To You, Tamara |

Please don't give up on all us fusty dusties in here my new friend. WeW, it does get crusty and dusty in here doesn't it!? I will tell you this as I laugh and type with warm memories of hot topics goin on in here... Don't let it get to you, everyone means well... Everyone here is a real stickler for Sola Scriptura! The literal intrpretation of the Bible and we all tend to look at the whole world with our Bible lens on and sometimes the things get all fogged up and we forget that it is a fellow Christian in here that was asking a question in the first place! Please don't know better next time ask all your questions please don't stop being you ever, you are special, you are unique! It is not fair of anyone to make you feel like you should know better next time! I apologize for every one in here, most of all me! I have about the most inquisitve mind in here, perhaps you are about to top my record on this! I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING THAT IS THE TRUTH, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECT MATTER, ONLY FOLKS WHO GET OUT OF WHACK BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT FLASE DOCTRINE OR PURE SPECULATION IS BEING THROWN OUT WITHOUT FORE THOUGHT - NOT SEEING A SCRIPTURAL BASIS FOR SEEKING THINGS RUFFLES FEATHERS IN HERE. BUT IF YOU NEED TO KNOW SOMETHING OR YOUR BRAIN IS COOKING IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION, JUST ASK, THEY WILL GET USED TO YOU... We also all need to pracitce Christian love and tolerance in here and not be so quick to hop on pop, we are all here together. God Bless You, Tamara |
