Thank you!! That is exactly what I have been looking for. | ||||||
23 | Could there be a greater calling? | Acts 22:14 | TerryM | 3067 | ||
It is possible. Just tell him to ask for clarity and stay open and listen to the voice of the Lord. If the Lord has a job for him to do, He will give him the directions. I pray that he is obedient to the spirit. God Bless! | ||||||
24 | Did God know Adam would sin? | 1 Corinthians | TerryM | 2370 | ||
I was in a discussion yesterday with someone of the Jehovah's Witness faith. He made a statement that God could not have known that Adam was going to sin. If so, then why would God condemn Adam for disobeying. He said that would mean that God was not a loving God. Therefore, God did not know Adam would sin. I disagreed. This would be limiting God's power if He did not know something would happen. I believe that God knew Adam would sin. But He gave him the freedom to choose for himself whether to obey God. Just like we warn our children against some things and tell them the consequences of disobeying, God does the same with us. God, as well as parents, have to follow through on our words or they are ineffective. I believe God is an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present God. It is us that fall short. I would appreciate your views on this matter. |

AMEN!!! | ||||||
26 | I need clarification please | 1 Corinthians | TerryM | 2458 | ||
I am confused (maybe it's becaues I haven't had coffee yet...smile), can you calrify your answer for me? Are you saying that God knew or did not know Adam was going to disobey Him? Are you saying that He knew those who were going to sin and that punishment was planned for those individuals? Forgive me if I seem a little dense, but I'm just trying to understand you. THANKS! |

Oh...OK. Thanks for the clarification and I agree with you. I know I serve an all-knowing, all-powerful God! | ||||||

I'm sorry. I didn't read who was sending the post. I thought you were the one responding to the previous answer to my first...oh never mind! I enjoyed your comments anyway. Smile | ||||||
29 | Ok...I got you now. | 1 Corinthians | TerryM | 2559 | ||
Ok...I got you now. I like the idea of knowing that God, knowing that we will reject Him and cause Him pain, still loves us enough to give us a second chance. Which brings to mind another question concerning the "lake of fire". Will those who will spend eternity in the lake of fire be tormented eternally or will this judgement result in a "second death"? I am a little confused on this point. |
||||||
30 | I know that those | 1 Corinthians | TerryM | 2658 | ||
I know that those who do not accept Christ will be punished and suffer the consequences. I am asking about the nature of that punishment. Some think the punishment will be for an eternity...torment in the lake of fire forever. some think the punishment will be permanentor will come to an end...put in the lake of fire which will cause death. What is your opnion? | ||||||

What was the physical condition given to Paul that became the "thorn in his flesh"? Terry |

Ok...I did a search for this question and it came back no results found. Then I posted the question and here is the same question. Sorry. Terry |

33 | Why do we not keep the 7th day Sabbath | Col 2:16 | TerryM | 1910 | ||
The Bible tells us to remember tha Sabbath and keep it holy...we should do all our work in 6 days and rest on the 7th day. It never said which 6 days to work. (If I am wrong, someone please correct with the scriptural reference.) Neither does is explicitly say which day to worship. (Again, if I am wrong...)We are having this same discussion at church. I am of the belief that if you set aside at least one day for the Lord...give it all to Him, then you are ok. | ||||||
34 | Why do we not keep the 7th day Sabbath | Col 2:16 | TerryM | 1999 | ||
I never said the day you take off from work should be the day you worship on. Neither does it say that in the Bible. But most people take that scripture and say that you should work 6 days and and worship on the 7th. God never said which days to work, neither did He say which day to worship. He said work 6 days and rest on the 7th. Now if they day you should to worship is the day you take off, then so be it. I take off more than 1 day a week and I worship more than 1 day a week. Everybody can not have sunday off, that is why we have more than one service. I am a an advocate of Sunday worship because (and this is just my opinion) it is in line with tithing of your time. The Bible says give of the first fruits of yor labor. This could include your time. Sunday is the first day of the week (by our current calendar). I am giving the first of my time. That is a "tithe of my time. I also give an "offering" of my time through Bible Study, prayer services, choir rehearsal, women's ministries, church school, etc. |

Smile. I didn't take it as an attack. I totally agree with you on all points. | ||||||
36 | 7th day | Col 2:16 | TerryM | 2047 | ||
Where is your scriputural reference for SATURDAY is the Sabbath? It says "Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God..." |
||||||
37 | Why do we not keep the 7th day Sabbath | Col 2:16 | TerryM | 2313 | ||
The purpose for MY worshipping on SUNDAY is to give the Lord the first of my time. I tithe MY time unto the Lord. That is a personal decision I made. Now that is not to say that is the only time I worship. Everyday should be a day of praise, worship and thanksgiving. I believe we were created to give God praise. I am also aware that God does need our study times, services, etc. But He needs us to do them. These are times that we develop our relationship with God so that we then may proceed to inform others about Him. 2Ti 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth". |
||||||
38 | Why do we not keep the 7th day Sabbath | Col 2:16 | TerryM | 2361 | ||
How else can we "rightly divide the word of truth" if we dont' study the word? You can not spread the gospel of Jesus Christ if you do not know it? You can not develop a relationship with someone you do not know? How else can we become effective doers of His word, if we dont' know what the word is? I think we need to do these things to accomplish the things God has ordained us to do. It is true that it is up to us to decide what kind of relationship to have with God. But I also believe that God desires to have a relationship with us. If not, then why would He ask us to "come unto Him"? There are no material things that we can manufacture or obtain that would be of any worth to God. I realize that. But praise does follow. But after searching the scriptures and applying them in our daily living and hearing the testimony of others and sharing our own experiences of His grace and mercies, we can't help but praise Him. For "if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out." |

39 | Why do we not keep the 7th day Sabbath | Col 2:16 | TerryM | 2566 | ||
I think we are on the same page. I see what you were saying now. Faith does play a BIG part in our service and desire to study and develop a relationship with God. But I also believe a person has to work up to the point where their works, praise and study are the result of their love for God. God uses different people for different reasons. We are all given talents and gifts along with a measure of faith that we must develop. These are to be used to fulfill God's divine plan. With some people (me in particular), God instills a yearning to seek Him. While still in the muck and mire, God placed inside of me a desire to know more about Him. It was not because of my love of God that I studied the word and sought His counsel. All my thoughts and plans for me life were contrary to what God had in store for me. As a result, everything I touched and tried to accomplish failed. It was because of this frustration and despair that I sought God. Through His infinite grace and mercy I found redemption and peace. From this my love of God developed. They more mercy He showed me then more I loved Him. Now I desire to worship Him and study His word because of the love that developed from this relationship. Most would argue (and have) that this is not the way. I knew God in my head, but I did not know Him in my heart. I didnt' just wake up one morning and say "I love God so I am going to worship and praise Him". I was one of the heard headed ones He had to prove Himself to and I thank Him everyday for that patience and love. It brought me to the point where I can say I worship and praise God and study His word because I love Him. |

40 | This is true... | Col 2:16 | TerryM | 2587 | ||
This is true...we were talking about the motives of a Christian. Maybe I'm using the word wrong here...help me out. Before we are created, God has a specific plan/purpose for us to fulfill. Some people are predestined to do certain things. Before He can use us to further this plan, we have to be in a "place" in our spiritual lives. To get us to that "place" God will frustrate our plans until we end up right where He wants us. Everything will fail until there is nothing or no one else but God. When we are at this "place", and we allow ourselves to be put on the potter's wheel, then God can mold and shape us into the vessel He chooses. Now...I do believe we have some responsibility in this...we must take a step and make that decision to be molded. But I also believe that if God predetermined that he would use me for a specific plan, then He NEEDS me to get to that "place" so He can use me for that purpose. I didn't say GOD needs to work in our hearts, I said He needs us to do certain things so that He can use us. And the way that we can become that vessel is through teaching, studying and worship, which leads to an intimate relationship with God. Am I making sense? |
