341 | Is "slain in the Spirit" biblical? | Matt 16:6 | inmyheart | 90706 | ||
In 1988, an ORU student named D.R. McConnell published a thesis on the Word of Faith movement that would shock the Christian world (or at least the Christians in America). The title of this book was A Different Gospel. Supposedly, this book revealed the shocking "truth" concerning the origin of the teachings of Essek William Kenyon. This book supposedly revealed that Kenyon's teachings were not influenced by divine revelation or Evangelical Christianity, but by Christian Science and other Metaphysical influences. The premise of the book was this: First prove that E.W. Kenyon had metaphysical and cultic influences in his writings and teachings. Then show that well known Faith teacher, Kenneth Hagin Sr., whom so many believed was the father of the modern day faith movement, to have plagiarized Kenyon's writings. If you can do that then you have made Kenyon the true father of the modern day faith movement. By making Kenyon the true father of the modern day faith movement, you can then prove that the whole movement is cultic and heretical. This book was a great weapon in the hands of those who already had a bone to pick with the modern day faith teachers. Now they had research and scholarship on their side. This book was considered to be THE book to reference if one desired to receive accurate information on this movement. That is, until Hendrik Hanegraaf came out with his landmark book, Christianity In Crisis. Now those who opposed this movement had two weapons in their hands to confront those smart aleck, cocky Word of Faith people. I will only quote from one more source. Dr. Frederick K.C. Price, the pastor of Crenshaw Christian Center in California has also suffered false accusations and misunderstandings from the critics of the faith movement. However, in his book, How Faith Works, Dr. Price took the time to explain the differences between Bible faith and the teaching of cults such as Christian Science. Dr. Price relates in his book about a battle he had with a tumor on his chest. He went though surgery to have it removed but some of it had already spread and started growing back. He decided this time to stand on the Bible and trust God for his healing. Dr. Price began quoting Matthew 8:17 and 1 Peter 2:24 to himself.. He went through some trials as the tumor seemingly got worse. Nevertheless, Dr. Price continued declaring God's Word. Eventually his faith was rewarded (Heb. 11:6). During the testimony, which is in much more detail in his book than what I have related, Dr. Price said this: I never went around saying I didn't hurt when in fact I did hurt. If you do that you're getting over into the realm of Christian Science and the mind science religions. You're saying the thing doesn't exist. I've never said it wasn't there. I never said the thing wasn't hurting. I didn't say anything about it at all. I ignored it. I only talked about what I believed. And I said, "I believe that I am well. I believe that I am healed." I did believe because the Word of the Lord said to believe that I receive and I'd have it. This book was first written in 1976, long before the accusations that have been leveled against the faith teachers. I personally believe that the critics of faith teaching were on an agenda, one which was not from God. God bless |

All of these Godly men have appeared on TBN, which is another program that you dispise. It's about Jesus and the truth, which is the Scripture's. Thank God, He's still healing today! God bless |

343 | Should We Get Married Again? | Matt 19:4 | inmyheart | 55506 | ||
How can there be an reconciliation if there wasn't a seperation. However why reconcil when the head doesn't want to be the covering over you. Your husband has issues that must be delt with. You mention that he has control over his addiction, if this is true he'll fail. Only God has control, only through His Son Jesus that former things are put behind, and all things become new. Denial is the biggest obstacle that will prevent a recovering addict from going on to a new life in the Lord. My suggestion to you is that before you begin to deal with any other issues, that you seek Christian council, from your pastor, etc. There are many Christian support groups available. Dueteronomy 30:19 says to choose life, Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. God loves you |

344 | Divorce and Remarriage is NOT Adultery | Matt 19:9 | inmyheart | 63186 | ||
Marriage consists of the union of a man and a woman, whose covenant relationship is witnessed and officiated by God himself. The Christian is only permitted to marry another Christian. If one is converted after marriage, one is not to divorce the spouse. But if the non-Christian spouse desires to sever the relationship, the Christian cannot force him or her to remain. Once within a marriage relationship, one must remain faithful, and not to divorce another, except when the other is found to be unfaithful. Even then, divorce is not necessary, but only permitted. One who divorces the spouse illegitimately is a covenant-breaker, and incurs God's judgment. Remarriage is generally allowed, and is encouraged or discouraged under different conditions. But again, it must only occur between two Christians. God bless |

345 | Is tithing just O.T. or N.T. as well? | Matt 23:23 | inmyheart | 55722 | ||
Well, just one quick question, Abraham was before Moses, did he or didn't he tithe? | ||||||

First of all I never gave you a challenge. I asked you a question. If you are mind set on not giving the tithe, so be it. I believe in tithing, I believe it was ordained by God, but for us to build a thread here on who is right, well, in not right. My statement is, tithe was before the law, period. We serve a God that does not change, and although we do not live under the law, the law is still in effect today. Thank God, you, don't have to kill anyone to give to God. God bless |

347 | Is tithing just O.T. or N.T. as well? | Matt 23:23 | inmyheart | 55867 | ||
I see that you are still mind set on building a thread. It is quite obvious you are not a tither. I am. Now you want to take a stand and have me "prove" that tithe is the teaching of Christ, but not only to you, but now you want to include the members of this forum also! What you sow is what you reap, do you want to nickel and dime the Lord, and receive a nickel and dime blessing from your tithing! Once again, you stated that tithing was under the law of Moses, I'm saying Abraham was before Moses, and he tithe. Malachi 3:8-12, says will a man rob God? yet you rob me. "But you ask, 'How do we rob you?'(sound familiar),In tithes and offerings. and it goes on to mention the blessings that will come. Now a tithe is a tenth of all of your income before you spend any of it, it belongs to the Lord. Read Haggi 2:5-9. verse 8 says that the silver and gold belongs to the Lord. Leviticus 27:30, the tithe is holy Psalms 2:6-8, God gave everything to Jesus. All that is on the earth and in the earth, now this is a true saying, if we are to tithe to God, and God gave everything to Jesus, who are we tithing to! How does tithing prove you put God first? Tithing means that you give "the first" ten percent of your wealth, before you spend anything, you're obident to His principle. Time and space prevents me from posting all the principle of tithing. Jesus came to fulfill the law, not abolish it. God bless and thanks for all of your replies, continue to be a blessing to others. |

Johnny, Answer to your question 1, why would Jesus have to teach (tithe) what God has already establish! |

Please read my second post to you. You still prove nothing. Tithing is of God. Some (like yourself) may contend, however, that the law was abrogated under the Gospel. If so, how much of the law, and in what sense? Is the law so abrogated as that we may now, at our pleasure, murder, lie, and steal? Have we not already seen that Christ came to fulfill the law--to confirm it to the least iota? Matthew 5:17-18, and fulfilling is the perfecting, not the destruction, of anything. hence the payment of tithes and offerings applicable to the support of the ministry, and to other religious and charitable works, is clearly the duty of Christians, unless it can be shown that Christ repealed God's law previously promulgated. Right giving is a part of right living. The living is not right when the giving is wrong. The giving is wrong when we steal God's portion to spend on ourselves. God Bless |

Well, it's about time, you finally got it! As I told you the first time I didn't want to creat an thread on this subject. Yes, I have learned to tithe. Now good night and God bless. |

Your view of myself has no effect on how God loves me or thinks of me. Just because you picked up some book somewhere and you believe that you don't have to tithe, well you go ahead and believe your doctrine. For me to argue that tithing is ordained from God, would prove to be futile. For the last time, you stated that tithing is of the law, my statement to you was that Abraham was before the law, and he tithe, period. God bless |

355 | is this a passage for second coming? | Matt 25:1 | inmyheart | 50090 | ||
Greetings, Here is another source taken from the Blue letter Bible Commentary; Matthew 25:1 - The parable of the ten virgins 1. Ten virgins go out to meet a bridegroom at a wedding a. There were three stages to a Jewish wedding in that day: "engagement" (a formal agreement made by the fathers), "betrothal" (the ceremony where mutual promises are made), and "marriage" (approximately one year later when the bridegroom comes at an unexpected time for his bride) b. In this parable, the first two stages have already taken place; now the wedding party (the ten virgins) await the coming of the bridegroom for his bride c. Why does Jesus describe ten virgins? Talmudic authorities affirm that there usually ten lamps used in a bridal procession 2. (Verse 2-13)The young women caught unprepared are denied entry a. These young women were outwardly prepared (they had their lamps in hand), but yet not really ready for the coming of the bridegroom b. What did they lack in their readiness? "Oil," Which is emblematic of the Holy Spirit; only He can make us really ready for the coming of the Jesus i. No one can be a true Christian without the indwelling Holy Spirit - "now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His (Romans 8:9); these virigins had the appearance of readiness, but thay lacked the critical ingredient c. How can we make sure that we don't lack in our readiness? Ask for the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:13), and walk in the Spirit d. In addition, we see that if we are not ready, no one else can protect us; not because no one will, but because no one can 3. The point of this parable is simple: be ready! Blessings to you my friend |

358 | the use of nations? | Matt 28:19 | inmyheart | 56414 | ||
Coffee, I agree with Morant61, Paul uses the term for Gentile Christians, for Matthew 28:19. However in my research of "ethnos" I find the following difinitions also; of or relating to large groups of people classed according to common racial, national, tribal, religious, linguistic, or cultural orgin or background. And last but not least, being a member of "ethnic" group. Matthew 24:7, Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. I don't believe that the Bible is speaking of Gentile Christians(ethnos) here, I believe that in this time of the end time, "ethnos", is speaking of nationalities against nationalities (ethnic groups), as we are seeing taking place today in the middle east. This makes more sense than, for an example, China against Russia, or any other nations. That is a good question, maybe someone else would like to comment, or add some revelation to this word "ethnos". However, it's late and too early for coffee :) God bless |

359 | Only church members can be baptized? | Mark | inmyheart | 64395 | ||
Many people go to be baptized, but they have so little knowledge of the Bible and of Jesus that they cannot understand or believe on Jesus with all their heart. In some countries, people may gather in great numbers to be baptized; yet when each one is questioned, "Who is Jesus?", many do not know Who He really is. To many, He is nothing more than a name and a person they sing about. They have no saving knowledge or faith. They are not ready for baptism. Mk 16:16-HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED; BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMNED. Note, "BELIEVING" must be in place before water baptism is done; and "believing" is to be WITH ALL THINE HEART. A person cannot believe on or be baptized into One in whom they know nothing about. Many preachers and elders wrongly baptize these people without ever discerning if they believe on Jesus and understand who He is, and what He did. You become a member when you enter into the family of God. God bless |

You don't mention if the persons are Christians. If they are, yes they are living in sin. They should pray for forgivness for their sin and marry their mates. Through the blood of Jesus they are sinless. However we are accountable and should be responsible for our actions. God Bless |
