1683 | Theology of Glory versus the Cross | 2 Tim 3:13 | azurelaw | 195185 | ||
Dear Cheri, Yes cheri, on one hand (as per our human mind) it would be a better choice for those (unbelieve) to sit busy at "playing church" (as you term it). On the other hand, the danger lies behind it would be those that who sit so well and feeling good at church might not realize their own sin for they could have been decieved. They might have created a good self-feeling within their acitivities at church - I am no more a sinner. On the contrary, those (dealing drugs, robbing, etc.) who deemed to be so much inferior to the seemed to be holy congregation, I doubt they would regard themselves have anything in association with holiness or righteousness, etc. I believe the story depicted in Luke 7:36-50 in contrasting Simon, the Pharisee and the sinner woman has addressed my point.

1684 | Theology of Glory versus the Cross | 2 Tim 3:13 | azurelaw | 195181 | ||
Dear Cheri, I have no intention to equate Osteens to the below descriptions. I just wanted to respond to what you said in the second paragraph in concern with deception and God's Godly purpose. Proverb 16:4 The LORD has made everything for its own purpose, even the wicked for the day of evil. quote ... the work of the devil coming as an angel of light to deceive....their sincerity did not absolve them of their pernicious errors. The fact was that they were serving the interests of the devil and not of Christ no matter how sincere they may or may not have been. This is a critical fact that bears reemphasizing. Sincerity is no substitute for truth. A man can be full of sincerity at the same time he is busy spreading the devil’s dangerous lies through the household of faith. Well-intentioned, but misled people too often overlook this fact and therefore refuse to judge the doctrine and practices of those men who claim to speak for Christ. This is precisely the attitude that Satan relies on to keep his cunning lies and false gospels undetected. His clever substitutes thrive in such an environment. This is why the apostle John commanded his hearers to: '…do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.' (1John 4:1 NASV). Dan Norcini unquote Shalom Azure |

Dear Grace, Why worry about the terrorist? Matt 10:28 "Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Please read Mat 10:28-42. Shalom Azure |

1695 | is it okay to have sex before preaching | Bible general Archive 4 | azurelaw | 194928 | ||
Dear pberardi, First of all, welcome to the forum. In your previous post, you said : However it is a personal belief that a pastor should be single... Could you please show me the scripture that requires a pastor single as I cannot find such relevant verse. What I have found is 1 Cor 7:1-7 where Paul addressed his personal preference to be single. Be a person married or single, it is God's GIFT (verse 7). Another verse found in 1 Cor 7:25 Now concerning virgins I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who by the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy. Paul stated that that (from v25-40) was not a command of the Lord. But he shared his opinion with the believers. Back to my understanding concerning Adam and Eve, I agree with you that God does not want Adam to be alone (Gen 2:18), but we should not forget the following verses especially v21-24. v24 ...be joined to his wife; and they shall BECOME ONE FLESH. (my emphasis in caps) I believe a married believer can still devote himself/herself to God if he/she follows what Paul has taught in Eph 5:22-33 and of course His Word. Should I have misunderstood anything, I am open to correction. Shalom Azure |

1697 | Why is pride a sin? | Proverbs | azurelaw | 194876 | ||
Dear Charles, Brother Michael has quoted you some scriptures to affirm you that pride is a sin. However, you have to discern your heart if you are acting as a sharing of joy with your friends and relatives, or you are just boasting for your own success instead of glorifying God. Please also note that on the other hand, pretending to be humble is hypocrisy (also a kind of pride, Chinese is very good at it). "The truly humble man never feels that he has sufficiently abased himself before God. He feels that however low he bends, he could bend lower. He always feels that he is above his proper position before God. He looks at his position, and looks at where he should be, and he appears at a great distance from it. He calls the distance 'pride'. It is his pride that appears to him to be great, not his humility. It does not seem to him to be a great sign of his humility that he should lie in the dust at the feet of God. He thinks that is exactly where he belongs. ... do not forget to apply these things to yourself. Does it offend you when someone thinks himself a better Christian than everyone else? Do you think he is proud, and that you are humbler than he is? Then be careful, in case you become proud of your humility! Examine yourself. If you conclude, 'It seems to me that no-one is as sinful as I am,' do not be satisfied with this. Do you think you are better than others, because you admit that you are so sinful? Do you have a high opinion of this humility of yours? If you say, 'No, I do not have a high opinion of my humility, I think I am as proud as the devil,' then examine yourself again. Perhaps you are proud of the fact that you do not have a high opinion of your humility? You might be proud of admiting how proud you are!" - Jonathan Edwards **************************** Mat 7:1-2 1 Cor 11:31 My last question, how old are you? :-) Shalom Azure |

1698 | How to humble my self as a little child | Phil 2:3 | azurelaw | 194847 | ||
Dear Donald, Welcome to the forum. God speaks to us through His Holy Word - the Bible. (2 Tim 3:16-17) That is why the apostles urge us to study diligently God's Word. (2 Tim 1:13-14, 1 Peter 2:2) In concern with humility, Phi 2:1-8 is good for us to ponder. Matthew 18:1-16 relate to your question directly. I believe the below commentary from Matthew Henry is helpful: "The importance of humility. Verses 1-6 Christ spoke many words of his sufferings, but only one of his glory; yet the disciples fasten upon that, and overlook the others. Many love to hear and speak of privileges and glory, who are willing to pass by the thoughts of work and trouble. Our Lord set a little child before them, solemnly assuring them, that unless they were converted and made like little children, they could not enter his kingdom. Children, when very young, do not desire authority, do not regard outward distinctions, are free from malice, are teachable, and willingly dependent on their parents. It is true that they soon begin to show other dispositions, and other ideas are taught them at an early age; but these are marks of childhood, and render them proper emblems of the lowly minds of true Christians. Surely we need to be daily renewed in the spirit of our minds, that we may become simple and humble, as little children, and willing to be the least of all. Let us daily study this subject, and examine our own spirits." (by Matthew Henry) Shalom Azure |

1699 | analyze the paralyzed man his healing | Mark 2:1 | azurelaw | 194843 | ||
Dear cantymantwo, I believe you meant Mark 2:1. This is one of the many touching scenes in the scriptures that I love. Nothing said in the scripture that the paralyzed man played an active role. He was totally in the passive mode in his salvation. He could not help himself nor come to Christ. (Eph 2:8-9) Next was the four men carrying him to the Lord. Their faith and love (v. 5) strove them to overcome all the difficulties and disturbances lied ahead in order to bring the needy soul to be saved by Jesus. This always makes me ponder the way, the mind when we are in the mission of preaching the gospel or bringing the unbelieve to Christ. Just my 2 cents. Shalom Azure |

1700 | when man fail to be committed to God | Col 3:5 | azurelaw | 194838 | ||
Dear Endie, If one does not commit to God, what does he/she commit to? Please understand that the meaning of idols do not limit to those of the men made images or statues. One who loves anything more than God, he/she commits idolatry. Col 3:5 Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. Go onto v 6, it talks about the consequence (This should also answer your another question). Here are some more scriptures for you to ponder: John 15:1-8 Luke 8:4-15 2 Cor 6:14-18 Rom 8:5-9 Hope this is helpful. Shalom Azure |
