1 | was satan the choir director in heaven? | Not Specified | catjo | 180871 | ||
I have heard it said that, lucifer was the choir director in heaven. If there is any truth to it I'd like to know where that is found? I found when the king of Babylon was being addressed as Lucifer, It seems as though this is where this could be assumed. Is it possible God was speaking to lucifer while he was possesing/controlling the king or his thoughts? I am not trying to glorify lucifer. I'm trying to get accurate history on our enemy so as to recognize him. Thank You! | ||||||
2 | definition of witchcraft | Bible general Archive 3 | catjo | 182461 | ||
I believe the King James Version says, "rebellion is the sin of witchcraft" 1 Sam 15:23. Which if you read from the begining of chapt 15 you'd find what happened that led to this statement. God Bless you. |

3 | what do the horns represent? | Bible general Archive 3 | catjo | 182518 | ||
One definition would be I believe, was the power of whoever it is being disussed in the scripture. AS in the figurative; of God's power Hab.5:4 Christ's power Rev 5:6 power of wicked ps 22:21 power of earthly kingdoms Dan 7:,8,24 power of antichrist Rev 13:1 When David was annointed to be King the preist, Samuel took a horn of oil and poured it over David in 1 Samuel 16:12 this where the spirit of the lord came upon David. Of course horns in the scripture also just explains what animals have them. And the blowing of horns for different things. Hope this partial answer helped. |

4 | before satan | Bible general Archive 3 | catjo | 183512 | ||
Hi,1dltlshines I had heard something along those lines as well. I tried to find anything that would alude to that story. The closest thing I could find that remotely could be construded as part of your Question is; in Ezekiel 28:13 in which God is addressing the prince of Tyrus. Where God says through the profit Ezekiel, "you have been in the garden of Eden....the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14 Thou art anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon on the holy mountain of God: thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee." The "pipes" as in the pipes of a musical instrament (pipe/organ) were inside this prince. I've heard this commentary said, that the word given, was about the spirit that was operating in the prince of Tyrus. Not the man himself. I would support this by saying God does not make cherubs and then turn them into men. Verse 14 states this spirit had been a cherub which is a kind of an angelic being/vision. And this angel who is no longer perfect according to verse 15. Which leads me to believe this is a fallen angel we are speeking about. To bring things back around to your Question. I'd have to say, IF a spirit such as Lucifere is being addresed here. This might be were your answer is, with support from other things we know about Satan. Ezekiel seems to be speaking of an angel/cherub who had been in the garden of Eden (of course Satan had been there too, Genesis 3:1), who had been perfect until the day iniquity had been found, and whos beauty and wisdom (worldly wisdom) made him to think that he is like God. I'd like to point out something I find interesting about verse 14 "Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy montain of God...." God is a God who is about protocol, organization and, purpose. And we find these qualities all here in verse 14: ANOINTED means God gave this cherub/angel the abilities, giftings and talents needed to carry out God's will in his "life". COVERETH means this cherub/angel is the covering or, the highest of the authority in the area he is called. Just as the husband is the covering for the wife and children. GOD set this cherub/angel in his place, this was God's will. God shared HIS HOLY MOUNTAIN with this angel/cherub. This cherub/angel was free to walk up and down the holy mountain. Isn't this what Satan did in Job 1:6 and 2:1,2 when He came in and out of the presence of God? Well, I would have to say Ezekiel 28:1-14 is a place to study. *...."and thy pipes was prepared IN thee...." I think this is where we get the term "internal organs" God Bless You and All. |

5 | what are benefits of corporate worship | Gen 11:6 | catjo | 202142 | ||
It seems to me there are only a couple of times that the Lord seemed to act quickly to prevent things from taking place. Once was when access was blocked from the tree of life, and the other time was when He confused speach at the tower of Babel. This second time was to prevent a people from being as one. Because they weren't trying to get to God with the tower. Instead they were trying to tower over God or, in other words they wanted to be above God. The reason this has anything to do with your question is a proving of united we stand divide we fall. When the Bablonians were united as one in one language or, one could say, the same voice. God said,"now NOTHING will be restrained from them , which they have imagined to do." KJV My belief is this, if a bunch of people who were trying to place themselves above God without a space rocket got His attention only because they were united in one belief. I think it is a pretty good indication they were onto something very powerful. And these folks were not believers of our God. So, how much more would this precept of being united in one belief during worship bennefit what we can imagine. Corporate worship is what was a common practice of God's people before going to war. Many times it confused the enemy even before battle. Look at Moses how the battle was being won when he held his hands up in worship. But when he got tired and his hands fell, and they started losing. Through the help of his sister and brother holding his hands up (corporate) to worship they began winning again. Corporate worship is so powerful to our God. It bennefits Him greatly. His scriptures even says, that a king is not a king without subjects. It blesses God that we put down our own selfishness and come togeter and worship the king as one body.(I'm not saying God is not God without our worship). Think how it pleases Satan when a stadium packed with thousands of concert goers come and sing songs that are of evil content exalting him. I often wonder does he say to God, look how they honor me. They even come together as one to worship my ways regardless if they are getting along or not. |

6 | don't cook the sinner w/ sin | Exodus | catjo | 180518 | ||
is this a forshadowing of a precept of the new dispensation ie; satan is the goat,evil is the milk. Therefore, we should not fight sinners in the personality of satan feeding w/ evil. Rather nurturing w/ good starving evil. | ||||||

Hi, Thank you for the welcome, Doc! Please, if you wouldn't mind explaining what Talmudic sources are. I've not been able to find any scripture or, anti cultic references concernig this either. Except, to say in Matt. 25:32, when the goats will be seperated from the lambs. And a few other places that use the goat to puchase land and the lamb to purchase or, free people. It seems to me a precept is being aluded to here. So, without going into a long equation as to how I feel what this might mean to us today. I'll just say, We are to hate the sin but, love the sinner. And, if there is a sinner amongst us we, as Christians are told to act in the personality of Christ. Not in the personality of the accusser (Satan). Now the milk of the captain of our faith is love, forgiveness, kindness, truth, suffice it to say all of Jesus' personality/precepts. But, if we say the goat is Satin then I suppose the milk would be evil. To me this is the same type of thing as; heaping coals on the head of our enimies by doing good to them . Whether this scripture specifically means this or, not. I think I'll choose to cook the young goat in Christ's mercy. Otherwise, it would be like pouring gas on a fire. Kind of like you reap what you sew, in this case... you reap what you throw. His child, Catjo |

11 | Is marrying for citizenship real? | Matt 19:5 | catjo | 182348 | ||
Dear Monica, God is a good God. And I know He wants you to put the past in the past. God is a god of new beginings. Your sins are forgiven as far as the east is from the west. God sent His Son to pay for your sins so Monica you don't have to. Don't allow the accuser of the bretheran (Satan that is) to convince you that your sin was to big for Jesus to pay the cost. As a fellow Christian I implore you to understand that it is your duty to believe you are forgiven if, you truely ask for it from Jesus. Own up to the fact that you did sin, as we all have. Now forgive yourself as well. But, don't try and find a loop hole in the law to justify your sin. In doing so you nulify the forgiving power and mercy of Jesus in your life. The reason I say let "this" sin go, roll it off your shoulders onto Jesus. This is what God wants for you, to be free from sin and it's power. The lord of the flies (Satan) wants you so busy staying in the past pondering on your sin. He wants you to be confused and fellowshipping with your guilt. That way you'll be to busy and ashamed to reach out to God. I wonder in instances like this does Satan say to God, Who do they believe ....Your goodness God or, my lies? Which say, you'll (as in God) never forgive their sin. I believe it blesses God when we believe His word that says, we are redeemed by the power of His Son's blood. What did Jesus say to the woman at the well and, Mary Magdolene? He said, "go and sin no more". This is what you need to do. But, I'd like to put it to you this way. Jesus wanted these woman to live without sin in there life. And that started happening as soon as they recieved forgiveness from Jesus. I don't think Jesus was saying, I expect you to be perfect and never mess up again. Rather it is my belief Jesus making way for these woman to have a release in this area in their life. I would say what Jesus did was; speaking into their life with authority for them to sin no longer. Simular to when God spoke the world into existance. When God said, let their be light. And then there was light. That is what I believe Jesus may have been doing when He spoke, go and sin no more. In other words Jesus was calling these woman out of the sin they were in. With that statement. Just a suggestion for your future: opperate only in the personality of Jesus. Jesus is truth and, Satan is the father of all lies. I agree with one of the prior enteries to let your yes be a yes and, your no be a no. You see Jesus said a house divided will fall. Or, united we and, stand divided we fall. Your mind needs to be united not divided. Not I am married on one hand and, I am not married on the other. Division is the work Satan wants to do in your mind. Because it causes confusion and renders you powerless. Next time Listen to your gut it probably is the Holy Spirit. Start asking God to teach you how to follow the peace...the peace of Jesus.Try to decern between ease and the peace of God. What I mean just because things are easy doesn't necessarily they are from God. Or, if things are hard they may or, may not be from God. Will it give you peace to recieve forgiveness and to trust that God sill has a plan for you and a good out come planned for you as well? I hope you leave this issue at the cross and never question am I forgiven. Monica be blessed. Place God first in all you do and, He will give you the desires of your heart. Who do you think put them their? Just remember God can give you only what He has. So He is not able to give you anything from this world that is not of HIM. |

12 | Is marrying for citizenship real? | Matt 19:5 | catjo | 182362 | ||
I apologize for not having scripture references. I will try to prove all things,(and) hold fast to all things which is (are) good. 1 Thes 5:21. This feeling in the gut I spoke about was in reference to "rodent tamer's" entry from 01/10/07 called; Here are the details of the case. In this entry she says, she had a feeling in her heart. In '80-90's christianese this may have been called a check in the spirit. It seems to me Jesus may be speaking about this in John 7:38 as He says,"He who believes in Me , as the Scripture has said, out of his heart (belly, womb, innermost being) flow rivers of living water." This water seems it might represent the Holy Spirit. So with this being said. I'd like to extrappulate this a little further, by saying the Holy Spirit only speaks God's word. So, if what you hear from your innermost being does not line-up with God's word. Then the word is not from God. However, when "rodent tamer" heard don't do this thing and , she did it anyway. I believe that is what 1 thes. 5:19 meant; Quench not the Holy Spirit. In another words, If you hear from the Holy Spirit and you ignore it. It is like throwing a bucket of water on a fire. In retrospect had "rodent tamer" listened to what I believe was the Holy Spirit. And, then got counsel. She would not be dealing with this dilema. But instead she quenched/drownded out the Holy Spirits tug on her innermost being. My belief is that not all people know the scriptures as well as a pastor or, a seasoned Christian. That is why I believe God uses feelings in our inner most beings so He can get our attention. So we do ask for counsel of those who can point us to the truth of God in His word. I Praise God for all the times I listened to that tug. It has made me turn all the more to the word of God for the truth. So, now when I hear that still small voice I am better learned to decern the truth of my Lord. Because I've searched the scriptures in past times. You are right...."God's word is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, peircing even to the division of the soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts of the heart." Heb. 4:12. God Bless "justme" and all who read this! |

13 | Interpret tongues? | 1 Cor 14:13 | catjo | 180877 | ||
I apologize that I am unable to look up scripture right know. But look up the verse that essentially says, "First you sing in tongues, than you sing in your language. First you speak in tongues and then you speak in your language." I believe this scripture to be true. As this is whar it says. Now I know paul said that he would rather have us prophecy more than speak in tongues. I'd just like to say, that does not mean he does not find value in speaking in tongues. On the contrary, I think he was pointing out the fact that without tongues ther is nothing to interpritate. And to take it to the next level, if one were to speak in tounges and not interprit it. There would be no revlation value to others. When you or, someone else has an interpritation hold on to it, and remember it. If this matches the precepts or, the word of God. There is no chance of harm as you should believe God's ways anyhow. If you hear a specific word one that may be given and you feel it is personal to you. Then test the spirits behind the word. This could be done by cheking who the spirit/person calls Lord. If they say Jesus then consider the word. Another thing to take into consideration, is do you have peace in your gut about this word? I also believe some words that are spoken to us are meant to wake up something inside us. Such as a call on our life that we wouldn't take into consideration because of lack of belief of our abilities or, the like. Anyhow always pray about "words" that are given. I'd like to say that gifts are available. But not all have attained them. Otherwise scripture would not hold pastors or leaders accountable for the words given in the assembly of the people. If this giving of a word is supposed to be judged by the leader than one would suppose it is possible there could be a reason to judge it. Some pastors require the word to be given privately to themselves in order to judge the word before it is spoken before the congragation. This tends to make sense. As if you are called to judge the word before the people hear it. One might say the spirits moving I need to give it know. That may be your emotion. But scripture also says the spirits (the word given) are controlled by the prophet. In another words it can be given after the pastor/leader allows it. As this word may be from God. But, it might not be a corpraqte word or, even a word from God. |

14 | Who are the heads of the widows? | Eph 5:22 | catjo | 180522 | ||
Husband by definition; house-band. I look to Jesus to fill in where I'm lacking holding my marriage together. I think in the church family our pasters are the one that bands us together in the earthly realm. As a father figure and one who was choosen by God. He may be younger than us and, not in a personal relationship w/ us. But I think recognizing God's protocol keeps us in rightstanding with God to receive blessings. | ||||||
15 | Who are the heads of the widows? | Eph 5:22 | catjo | 180525 | ||
This covering most certainly can be the local church. But I would submit, it should be one godly male paster(omitting confussion and division). One who speaks as, ie; and my sheep will hear my voice. If he (builds and cleanses) you (not tickle your ear)in his sermon.If u obey God's word thru his teaching.Then U are understanding God (or standing under God's authority). Hence your covering thru the God's protocol system. You always reject ungodly authority though. Make sure you are going where your led. Not out of habit. Pray and follow. You may have to stay or, go. But, stay until called by H.S. Let the spirit lead you, not ur emmotions or flesh. | ||||||
