21 | God Question | Rom 10:17 | joel_way | 163122 | ||
Hi Rick, I have read your question and the answers.... wow so much bla bla bla about a simple annswer. Have you ever seen the wind? No, of course you can't see the wind, but you can see what the wind is doing, what it has done, and you can predict what the wind might do. My guess for you would be that God is preparing you for a great revalation... so profound that you cannot miss it. Kind of like how you don't notice the weather changing a few degrees at a time, but you would notice if it went from 99 degrees down to 12 degrees in one minute. Be patient (psalms 40) wait on the lord. Joel Way |

22 | God Question | Rom 10:17 | joel_way | 163129 | ||
Hello Jeff, Why do you assume this person is a non-Christian? He clearly stated that he believes who God is and has read the Word. He is looking for God to move in his life. And when God does this it is a great revelation (personally). and not some new way to find salvation. This person is searching in all the right places, so why would you quote scripture calling him "wicked"? We sould always encourage ( especially the lost) to seek God's revelation to them. When people are searching there are many wrong ansers they might find if Christians don't encourage and lead them to the one true answer that is Christ, Jesus. Let me encourage you to remember the fruit's of the Spirit which include gentelness and kindness. And in this Spirit we should welcome God's people who are searching for him and NOT put up a wall that says they need all the answers before they can enter. Welcome them, teach them, diciple them, so they can serve God too. in Love of Christ, Joel Way |

Hi Jeff, Ironically, your reply to the original question makes more sense than all the others, and you quoted some great scriptures, and you were an encourager. So why would you lash out at some one else who tries to encourage. My expression of "bla bla bla" was mearly to show that the answer is quite simple. in Christ, Joel Way |

24 | God Question | Rom 10:17 | joel_way | 163139 | ||
Hi Jeff, PLease understand one thing for me... I do not wish to argue my point with you. Some people know God by faith and some by revelation that causes faith to grow. It is still the same way now as it was then; the faithful have a hard time believing in the revelations given to the unfaithful. And even though I am a faithful believer now, by revelation, I wish I had been a faithful servant who believed and trusted God all along. It is my opinion that when he wrote " why doesn't He show himself to me" He too will be one who comes to God by revelation not by faith alone. I don't understand what you thought I was telling him to wait for.What I meant was more like "seek Him and you will find Him" Joel Way |

Hi Jeff I'd like to start by saying thank you for you input, and I'd like to make it clear that I do NOT dispute what you have said. I am a strong believer that faith is what God ask of us the most. Without faith, we have nothing. Before I get into scripture, let me tell you a small portion of my testimony so you may better understand where I am coming from. As a young teen, I began going to Church with some friends and began to know who Jesus was and what He had done for me. I recieved salvation at age 14, but after my high school years I quit going to Church and I did not include God in my life. I still believed, but I was just to pre-occupied with myself and I grew further and further away from God. As the years went by, I was very successful in life. It was almost like magic that whatever endevor I involved myself in I would come out on top. My world was all about me and what I could do. Well... I guess you can see where this is going... because I had exhaulted myself, The Lord, in His good time, humbled me. It was like one day someone tured off the light and nothing I did amounted to anything but shame. Within a couple of years I had lost everything; home,family, business, career, everything but my life. Now at the bottom, I finally looked up to God and asked for mercy. This was His great revelation to me. He showed me what I am without Him, and revealed His mighty power to bless or take away. Of course there is much more to my story, but I'll just say I have been a faithful follower ever since and I have grown in faith and knowledge for many years. Praise God for his faithfulness. Now I am a minister and a teacher of God's word. And when I see someone who is as lost as I was, I am reminded of what God did to me, and for me, so I try to encourage them to wait for God and He will show up. One more thing I'd like to clear up here; God's revelation to me was not something new. Every thing he did for me is already recorded in scriture. I never intended for anyone to think I was saying God would do something new, something outside of His Word. What He does is turn us back to His word. Everything the Lord has ever told me, even in that still small voice, can be found in scripture. Scriptures on revelation... the seed of faith Isaiah 65:1 I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me: I was found by those who did not seek me. this is found again in Romans 10:20 John 2:11 He thus revealed he glory, and His disciples put their faith in Him. Isaiah 43:12I have revealed and saved and procaimed. I and not some forien god. You are my witnesses that I am God. 1 samuel 3:7 Now Samuel had not yet known the Lord. 1 Samuel 3:21 and there He revealed Himself through His Word. 1 Corinthians 2:10 God has reveled it to us by His Spirit. Jeff you mentioned Acts 26... Paul was not a man of faith in Christ untill Jesus revealed Himself to Saul on the road to Damascus.Acts 26:13-16 And the 18th verse shows us an example of How God brings in those who come to God by revelation " so they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place amoung those who are santified by faith in me." there are many many more scriptures on the revelations of Christ after His ressurection, but I hope I have given enough for a basis on my statements. interested in your reply , Joel Way |

Hi Jeff, Yes, our experiences must line up with the Word of God or they were not from God, they were meant to lead us astray. Moreover, our feelings and emotions often lend to our creating a god to fit our needs. This is the most basic form of idolatry. Unfortunately the world and some religions have fallen into this lie. Have you ever heard people say " to me God is ...." ? They make God out to be the God they want Him to be, based on their feeling and emotions. As far as experiencing God through experiences that are in-line with scripture.... isn't it great to know He is alive and well... and that His will will be done. in Christ Love , Joel Way |

28 | Who are the dead referred to here? | 1 Cor 15:29 | joel_way | 162951 | ||
Paul wrote this letter to the Church at Corinth which he had began and was away from. He knew there were still lots of people who did not believe in the ressurection of Christ. Since we are baptized into his death and raised with Him into a new life, he was referring their belief that there was no ressurection... or being baptized into the death and not the life. Please reply to this note if you are still unclear about this passage. joel way |

29 | marrage to a non-christian? | 2 Cor 6:14 | joel_way | 178303 | ||
Hi Tarzan, if someone is chrisend it does not make them a christian. In fact it doesn't make them anything bout a little wet. This is only a Catholic ritual of dedication by the parent. God sees the heart and a non-believer has nothing in common with a believer, Deuteronomy 22:10 says "donot yoke an donkey and and ox together" ... they will never work together .. the ox is strong, but the donkey is stubborn and takes away the ox's streghth. A non-believer and a non- christian are the same thing. However, youir freid should know the bible says "non-believer" 2corinthians 6:14-15 More people should be concerned about others like you are. Keep it up, share the truth. peace to you, Joel Way |

HI, I have read all the replies to your question and I want to assure you to trust in God. You are doing the right things that it takes to be healed from homosexuality. It may or may not be an overnight prosess. You may always have a memory of such things, but if you offer yourself to Christ He will make your paths straight. Pray that Christ will make clear paths for you and guilds you to the human love you're seeking. Remember do not trust yourself, trust God.You are going in the right way. |

31 | experiencing God | Heb 1:1 | joel_way | 178289 | ||
Kalos, I have been reading an old post you Wrote about Blackaby's Experiencing God. I would like to thank you for the insight. A couple of years ago I was in a discipleship class that was teaching "Experiencing God" and I was uneasy with what it taught. So, I stopped going. I knew the teaching was not in line with the principals God had instilled in me. I struggled with this because I HAVE heard the voice of God and recieved instructions for my life. This was not adible ... it was much louder than that. Ha Ha Ha This is my humorous way of saying it wasn't a loud voice from above, but it surely got my attention. I was under God's mighty hand and in judgement. However, as I observe the Christian mentors in my life and the sound doctrine of scripture, I believe it takes true knowledge, active faith, and sanctification. And there does not have to be a "parting of the red sea" to experience God fully. I believe some will hear from God and others are already in his will. Thomas did not believe until he could put his finger in the nail holes, yet he was not less of a believer. Anyway, I was excited to read what you wrote and I felt compelled to write to you. Thanks, Joel Way |
