262 | Is the Word-Faith movement biblical ? | John 10:27 | glory777 | 7860 | ||
I have to put my two cents in, also. I think when you start tearing down people by things that they say, you had better be 100 per cent certan that everything you say or said or will say is exactly understood the way you meant it. Although I don't agree with everything some of the evangelists say or do, and I know I don't understand a lot, I think I can understand a little of the comment quoted that Mr. Hinn said. In every part of the Trinity, you have the other Two. Word-Faith? Is that like say it and you have it? It still all depends on whether it is the Father's will that you do have it. Healing? Don't cast that out. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. If He chooses to heal by medicine, doctors, naturally (?), or miraculously, it is all done by Him. Even Paul was not healed, even though he prayed and also advised Timothy to take wine for his stomach. But he also said to call the elders to pray over the sick and annoint with oil. In otherwords, expect God to do the miraculous or heal in any way He would choose. God is not obligated to give us anything. He already gave us the greatest Gift. But if we walk in fellowship with Him, know what His will is, our prayers will have a better chance of being answered. And if they aren't, His grace is sufficient. |

263 | Is the Word-Faith movement biblical ? | John 10:27 | glory777 | 7883 | ||
I am not in the Word of Faith movement (at least I don't think so) but God did speak all creation into existance. I do know that if you tell a child long enough, and sometimes it doesn't take too many times, that he is no good, he will often fulfill your words. God said to speak blessings, not cursings. So in this regard, I do believe that words have power. God also gave us common sense and I believe we should use it. If we need healing, He is the One we should turn to first, prayer being a first option. Then follow up with the resources He has supplied us. But faith IS important. Why else would Jesus have put such an emphasis on relying on our Heavenly Father? So many things He said - "faith of a mustard seed...ask and it shall be given...The neighbor who kept knocking," etc. I have heard that God answers three ways - no, yes and wait. | ||||||

Oh, Tim, I am so sorry for your loss! And I know that that is a lie from Hell that was related to you and your wife. God does give us the strength and even in the times of grieving He gives us peace but you are right, that only comes through faith. | ||||||

Isa- I have read a very good book that you might enjoy reading. The title of it is More than a Carpenter by Josh McDowell. I think it will help you in your search. Debbie |

I am so sorry. But I think it would be available in bookstores. It is a small book, so it shouldn't be too costly. Debbie |

268 | Why Jesus prays to his Father | John 10:29 | glory777 | 11182 | ||
Isa- I have a web site you might be interested in. go to www.ICR.org They do research on what science is finding out about how truthful the bible really is in recording historical fact. In reading how sinful David, Solomon, etc. were, the one thing that they all had in common is their trust in God. It was by faith and the grace of God that caused these men to be so loved by the Lord. "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works (or lack of sin, I might add) lest any man should boast" Eph 2:8-9. Abraham told Sarah to lie about being his wife, commited adultary, but it was his faith that made him righteous. Romans 4. I am so glad that I don't have to "do" anything to be righteous before my God. It makes me want to do what He would like me to do, just because He loves me. I have confidence in my future and true peace in my soul. I do pray that you will come to the same conclusion. Blessings, Debbie |

269 | Jesus knew.......... | John 13:11 | glory777 | 41782 | ||
myah- Yes, Jesus knew that Judas would betray Him. God knows everything WE are going to do or say before we say them, but He always gives us the choice. Just because He knows in advance what the answer to the choice will be does not negate the fact we have the free will to choose. Judas did and played the part that Satan wanted him to play (who put the questions and dissatifaction in his head?)and when he realized the effects of his betrayal, hanged himself. By the way, I read one time, I don't know where, that hanging can also mean impaling on a stake. If Judas hanged himself that way, he could be head down and his bowels would definitly fall out! Gross! But just a thought, wouldn't it be something if just before he died, he repented and acknowledged that Jesus was God and the Truth? Wouldn't it be something if he was in Heaven? Who knows?

270 | DID JUDAS EAT , DRINK THE LAST SUPPER | John 13:30 | glory777 | 47108 | ||
Searcher gave you a good lead to follow. As you read scripture, What really struck me, was that not only was he allowed to partake of the Passover with the Lord Jesus, but Jesus, knowing what he would do, also washed Judas' feet. What an example for us. Debbie |

271 | Salvation wihout Jesus? | John 14:6 | glory777 | 7240 | ||
I have some ideas about this, but I would like other input. If a person has never had access to the gospel, would he still have a chance of going to Heaven? | ||||||
272 | Christianity vs New Age! | John 14:6 | glory777 | 13325 | ||
GiVogue- If they don't believe that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, they are not Christian. That is the bottom line. Do they believe that the Bible is the Word of God and is truth? These are questions that will put them either into the Christian camp or the non-Christian camp. Read your Bible. That is the best defense. You can not defend something if you know nothing about it. And surround yourself with believers. Until you are knowledgable about the things of God, the enemy will try to sway you with what the "new agers" say. I pray that God will give you an unquenchable desire to know HIs Truth. Debbie |

273 | Who is responsible for Jesus' death? | John 19:23 | glory777 | 10092 | ||
Steve- You might be interested in another viewpoint. I have a small web page and if you click on "At the Cross" you'll see my version. Go to http://www.rosehedge.homestead.com/rosehedge.html. Awesome to think what could have happened. Just read in a book by Max Lucado that the victory was already won in Gethsemane. When Jesus bent His desire to the Father's. Something I had never thought of before - something I will think a lot about now. Joy and Peace- Debbie |

274 | Why not James, Joses, Simon or Judas | John 19:26 | glory777 | 66155 | ||
Hi Prayon- I don't know for sure, but I think Jesus intended that because John was at the cross with Mary. I don't see that any of Jesus' siblings were there. If John loved Him enough to be there and, I am sure, comfort Mary who was grieving with him, who else could offer, not only monetary support, but emotional support and was likeminded. We know that earlier on, his brothers thought Jesus was crazy. john was always the disciple whom Jesus loved. Just a guess. Debbie |

275 | What is "burst asunder" in Acts 1:18 ? | Acts 1:18 | glory777 | 20547 | ||
mncc- Remember in Matt. 27:5 scripture also says he hung himself. This is not contradictory. After he hung himself, either the rope broke, or in the process of cutting him down, as he fell his body burst open, either from falling on sharp objects or because it was a while before they found him hanging.

276 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | glory777 | 10337 | ||
I believe that speaking in tongues is a sign, but I also know a lot of people who are saved and who have the Holy Spirit residing in them who don't. My denomination believes scripture teaches that when you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, tongues can be a sign and usually is. But when you receive the bapitsm you don't just receive some of the gifts, you receive them all. You may only use one, or you may use many. The apostles were saved, but were not baptized in the Spirit until Pentecost. The man crucified with Jesus was saved, but did not have the baptism of the Holy Spirit. It is desirable to have the gifts, but read 1 Cor. 13. If I never spoke in tongues and had as much love for people as Jesus did, it would be fine with me. That is the greatest gift and everything else is just frosting. Concentrate on that. Peace to you. Debbie |

277 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | glory777 | 10465 | ||
Speaking in tongues is speaking in a language you do not know or understand (1 Cor. 14:14). If this is for people who understand the language spoken, why the need of an interpreter? The person who has the gift of interpretation does not know the language being spoken, for then it would be a known language and it would not be a spiritual gift to interpret. Yes, when you believe you receive the Holy Spirit but when Jesus breathed on the Apostles, they were not "baptized" in the Holy Spirit. If it were so, why did Jesus promise to send the "Comforter" to them at a later date? Why did they need to be filled again? To endue them with power. Others also spoke in tongues at their spiritual birth, Paul is a good example. He spoke in tongues, had the gift of prophesy, and the others. When Paul wrote to the Corinthians, he was writing to a church. It gifts were used in the church (or I should say misused)and I don't think all of the Corinthians were in those two places stated. Because everyone was using their "eye" gift, Paul wrote the letter and gave specific guidlines. Things should be done decently and in order, and he states the order. I have a question. When did the gifts of the Holy Spirit stop being necessary? If they served a purpose then, wouldn't they serve an even greater purpose now? However, we still have people that say "They are drunk on new wine." We may never agree on this one. But that does not stop us from being a part of the family of God. Debbie PS I speak in an unknown tongue, buthe only lanuage I know is very little Spanish from Sesame street and a couple of phrases in Hungarian that I don't use since I became born again! |

278 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | glory777 | 10467 | ||
1Cor. 14 - Tongues is more important to an individual by himself. It is edifying himself and also pure prayer to the Father. Tongues with interpretation or prophesy are the best in a group situation for then everyone understands. Just what it says. Debbie |

279 | No speaking in tongues, no Holy Spirit? | Acts 2:4 | glory777 | 10506 | ||
Bless you, Nolan and EdB! I have not used all the gifts, I don't feel a pull to use them, although I speak in tongues for myself and have the gift of exhortation. I just want to be open to whatever and wherever the Lord wants to use me. I think this is one subject that will never be agreed upon by all believers. One of my favorite teachers (I listen on the radio) is Chuck Swindoll. I may not agree with everything he says but I learn so much from him. He said on one program that his brother-in-law is Charismatic and that they do not agree, but love each other and respect each other. I think that just may have to be the situation. In 1 Cor. Paul speaks on how all members of the body are important to the function of the body. I don't believe he was just talking about the gifts of the Spirit, but about all the people in the church, and on a broader scale (and I may be stretching it here) the different denominations of the Christian Church. We all can work together, share together, and draw people to the Lord showing them the way to salvation and how to live in obedience to our Maker. Peace- Debbie |

1 Cor. 14:14 (NKJ) For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my undertanding is unfruitful. Paul goes on to state 15- What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit and I will also pray with the understanding. This again is in the contecxt of using prophesy and tongues in a church setting. If there was no benefit to speaking in tongues, as you seem to imply (produces and unfruitful mind) why would Paul thank God he speaks with tongues more than the readers? I think the only time that tongues was mentioned as being understood by everyone was the first time. Paul didn't state anyone had to know what was being said before hand, but to pray that someone would interpret. If you have to go around asking if anyone understands what you are saying so they can interpret it, it is not a spiritual gift, but a human gift. Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are saying. Forgive me if I am. |
