41 | Why Sunday? | 1 Cor 16:2 | armond888 | 193562 | ||
Excuse my typos and muliple entries.. Its been awhile since I have been on the site.. out of practice...smile | ||||||
42 | Why Sunday? | 1 Cor 16:2 | armond888 | 193564 | ||
One more thing.. GOD really no longer commands us what day to worship it is more an issue of preference.. He is more concerned that we worship HIM in our lifestyle.. Rom 14:5 One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind. |

43 | Died and with Christ, Where? | 2 Corinthians | armond888 | 231470 | ||
That sounds very much nonsensical to me. It is like saying you are living in my home but not in my neighborhood, sounds crazy. Acts 7:56 and he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." Think about this; If Jesus is standing nect to God in Heaven and we are in Jesus how can we NOT be in heaven too. Eph 2:6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, |

44 | Did Jesus,God,die at the crucifition | Phil 2:5 | armond888 | 183406 | ||
God is Immortal - He Can never die. Jesus served as a man and that is why He often refered to Himself as the Son of MAN. He had to live sinlessly as a man to be a sacrifice for man Phil 2:5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, Phil 2:6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, Phil 2:7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Phil 2:8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Luke 12:10 "And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him. If Jesus was walking in HIS Divinity then anyone saying anything against HIM would be commiting Blasphemy |

45 | good things come to those who wait | 2 Tim 2:15 | armond888 | 220080 | ||
Here is a little note to add , All good things do not necessarily come to those who wait.. But the waiting must be on the LORD.. The text does not say that all good will occur but that you will be renewed.. which may not be all good but still very good.. Is 40:31 Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. Just one more scripture...concerning good..and all things consider this : Rom 8:28 We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose. |

46 | Is hetero-anal sex a sin? | 2 Tim 2:20 | armond888 | 131907 | ||
Great answer..too bad it was necessary. But just to add a comment, I think we might refer to the behavior as both sexual immorality and impurity..Gal 5:19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, Gal 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, Gal 5:21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. |

47 | Is this refering to the law of love? | James 4:11 | armond888 | 129296 | ||
We must not confuse our Christian responsibility to hold one another accountable with the references written in the epistle of James.. As Christians it is essential that we judge the moral conduct of fellow believers in order to maintain the integrity of the church (Body of Christ).. 1 Cor 5:11 But now I write to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of [Christian] brother if he is known to be guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater [whose soul is devoted to any object that usurps the place of God], or is a person with a foul tongue [railing, abusing, reviling, slandering], or is a drunkard or a swindler or a robber. [No] you must not so much as eat with such a person. 1 Cor 5:12 What [business] of mine is it and what right have I to judge outsiders? Is it not those inside [the church] upon whom you are to pass disciplinary judgment [passing censuring sentence on them as the facts require]? 1 Cor 5:13 God alone sits in judgment on those who are outside. Drive out that wicked one from among you [expel him from your church]. However we must recognize that we are given guidelines for judging and or for handling offenses..these guidlines are as follows Matt 18:15 If your brother wrongs you, go and show him his fault, between you and him privately. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother. Matt 18:16 But if he does not listen, take along with you one or two others, so that every word may be confirmed and upheld by the testimony of two or three witnesses. Matt 18:17 If he pays no attention to them [refusing to listen and obey], tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a pagan and a tax collector Yes 1Cor 13:5 says love does not take into account a suffered wrong... But that is only after there is repentence for that wrong.. Psa 7:11, God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day. ... Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |

48 | being accountable for hearing the truth | 2 Pet 2:20 | armond888 | 137573 | ||
2 Pet 2:20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 2 Pet 2:21 For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them. 2 Pet 2:22 It has happened to them according to the true proverb, "A DOG RETURNS TO ITS OWN VOMIT," and, "A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire." |

49 | Can we determine thr truth of the matter | 1 John 1:8 | armond888 | 228757 | ||
Wow, certainly shows our enthusiastic approach to scripture. I find scripture is best understood through the agency of the Holy Spirit. Even how the Spirit of the LORD communicates truth comes under great debate, this of course is nothing new. Jesus Himself said the Holy Spirit would lead us and guide us into all truth and yet there are numerous opinions regarding the truth more numerous to count even within the "Church", depending on our background. I find the biggest deterrent to understanding the Bible is the intermingling of secular thinking in the reasoning process of many Christians. Here is my kicker on this topic and others, real truth is based on revelation knowledge, the same way we receive salvation. Without revelation knowledge everything is up for debate with revelation knowledge nothing is up for debate. Matt 11:25 At that time Jesus began to say, I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth [and I acknowledge openly and joyfully to Your honor], that You have hidden these things from the wise and clever and learned, and revealed them to babies [to the childish, untaught, and unskilled].By the way GOD is not looking for perfection in our behavior, God is expecting us to serve HIM through acts of service and not living a lifestyle of sin, this is NOT perfection. We may stumble on occasion but since we are dead to sin it will be a rare occurrence. Rom 8:5 For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. |

BradK , Yes Eph 1:17, also reference Matt 16:17 Then Jesus answered him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. For flesh and blood [men] have not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in heaven. When GOD tells you something the debate is over period. And finally consider what the Bible tells us concerning prophecy in the verse below, I believe this scripture does not only refer to prophecy but to the entire Holy Spirit inspired Word of GOD as documented in the inerrant and infallible Holy Bible. 2 Pet 1:20[Yet] first [you must] understand this, that no prophecy of Scripture is [a matter] of any personal or private or special interpretation (loosening, solving). The opinions of men are meaningless - Pet 1:21 For no prophecy ever originated because some man willed it [to do so--it never came by human impulse], but men spoke from God who were borne along (moved and impelled) by the Holy Spirit. |

There is great discussion on this forum on many Bible subjects and I love reading some of the feedback. I have been using studybibleforum since 2002 it is a good online reference. I do think however that many of the answers, notes, questions that come forth on this site seem competitive in nature. It seems that some are competing to see who is the smartest, has the most Bible knowledge or something. This behavior is indeed carnal in nature and has it's root in worthless worldly pride. GOD resist the proud but gives grace to the humble. Serving GOD is not an intellectual pursuit, it is a pursuit of love. 1 Cor 1:26 For [simply] consider your own call, brethren; not many [of you were considered to be] wise according to human estimates and standards, not many influential and powerful, not many of high and noble birth. 1 Cor 1:27 [No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame. 1 Cor 1:28 And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn and insignificant and branded and treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing, that He might depose and bring to nothing the things that are, 1 Cor 1:29 So that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God. |

Doc In all due respect to all who present here I still maintain my point of view. This forum is not unlike any public venue where opinions are expressed. And, I disagree with your conclusion that pride is a non issue when posters remain anonymous. The spirit of pride desires to be fed at any opportunity even for the sole purpose of self gratification. I am very much aware like most people in today's information age that text only is limited in terms of communication. Also, I find nothing wrong with revealing related things about myself in regards to postings,it does not detract from any eternal purpose unless it does not line up with scripture. I would bet my post regarding pride gave pause for self examination for some. |

Oh well.. this is getting humorous. Sure Doc I will do my best to adhere to the host's intent for the site. I would say I am sorry, but about what, writing what I think or would it be by not writing what others think. But hey it's all good we all get to share. Now regarding Biblical counseling, you got a lot of weeding out to do. This may be one of those times when text does not adequately rely the full meaning and intention of the writer??? Maybe, maybe not. Question Doc, are you a staff member or hold a position of authority on the forum??? Just asking?? | ||||||

56 | does sin change Gods plan? | Rev 2:1 | armond888 | 120217 | ||
Rev 2:21 'I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality Notice the Lord at His discretion may choose to give you time to repent.. because of His love and long suffering.. He does not want any to perish but all to come to repentence. 1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Please notice the emphasis is on practicing sin .. that means over and over again.. If this immorality is habitual and you truly want to stop but can not..you may need deliverance, through the process of prayer and or fasting until the yoke is broken.. If you do this and your conscience does not convict you.. then you have a far more serious problem.. Prov 29:1 A man who hardens his neck after much reproof Will suddenly be broken beyond remedy. The neck in this instance relates to the will.. and means if you willfully refuse to admit..confess and turn from your sin.. over time of being told over and over again to repent.. God will destroy you.. |
