181 | Would a gentle spirit work? | John 12:32 | khuck | 103977 | ||
My Pastor calls it self-righteousness when we beat the weak down with the word because we feel we are more saved and more knowledgeable. That we are viewed by them as above them in Christ by our behavior. Therefore we beat them down and do not lift them up. Therefore they feel that they are not worthy to be a member of our little "Christ Clique", that is reserved for just us righteous few. He calls it, "Just us four and NO MORE" syndrome. (Laughing) Noble you make an excellent point here. God Bless you, -Kathy |

182 | Do you recall the day of your Salvation | John 12:32 | khuck | 103979 | ||
Dearest Tim, Thank you for indulging me on this. My soul just cries out with joy when I hear about the day when one first believed. It is good to remember the day we first fell in Love with Him. Each of these testimonies have brought a song to my heart. This is yours: I don't feel no ways tired I have come to far from where I started from. Nobody told me. that the road would be easy, But I don't believe He brought me this far ... to just leave me! I pray God's continued Blessing for your ministry, your family and your Life in Christ, I am blessed because of your testimony -Kathy |

183 | THE MOST POWERFUL VERSE IN EVANGELISM | John 12:32 | khuck | 104005 | ||
Dear Noble, From all of my research it says that both meanings apply, and you are right he was degraded. but through that very degrading experience he was exalted. I too understand that you see the all of the word pertaining to this verse and I promise you I do too. Once again I agree that he not only foretells that he'd be lifted, but also how he would die. Yet using the greek translations that I came across, I see also another profound meaning. And maybe that is just me Noble. You know I mean no harm or insult, but I trust that I am not wrong on this, nor do I feel your undertanding is erroneous. So please my dearest friend, forgive me if I am choosing to walk a bit further down the path. I love you as always in Christ, -Kathy |

Searcher, This post my seem harsh to you, but I must be frank and candid at this time. You give me few other choices. Your knowledge of the Bible is commendable on an academic level, but it is those who post with wisdom and Christian attributes that I respect most. So I'll pass; you go and question the Rabbi and garner more information on the letter of the word. I am sure that my Pastor is well versed in Jewish traditions and beliefs, if I have a need to know about Good Thursday. You have a lot of brash audacity where I am concerned. You label me anti-christ, you tell me that you are attempting to correct my thinking, and now you give me directives. Well my Dad is Paul Dunn. He has never used the name Searcher. You fail miserably at trying to prove to the Brothers and Sisters that I am on the wrong side of the cross, give it up cause you can never win. I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me, and that includes tolerating your consistent put downs. You only do it because you are established on this forum by your longevity. You take great pride in perceiving yourself to be right in all things Biblical. I take pride in Christ and His abilty to save. Because you have a long history with this forum you have a following of those that will back you even when you are openly vicious, but not everyone is cowardly enough to call that which is wrong, right. About 6 or 7 post ago, I asked you with much love and patience for us to disagree agreeably and let peace be the acceptable truth of the day. I asked you to let there be peace between us. But you have persisted, all day. This shows me a lot about your character. Once I almost left this forum, just to avoid your incessant snubbings. You accuse me of being unhappy with your responses, it seems to me that you are the one who is unhappy with me, because I do not amen to everything that you post. And I am bold enough to post what I truly believe and you can not compell me to do otherwise. What scripture do you believe I should study? Is there going to be another deiviously mean spirited quiz? You ask me,"Kathy, What about Good Thursday?" As you are well aware most of us here are Christians, since we are not Jews we acknowledge Good Friday. Besides that you never acknowledged that my answer even though not the one you sought, was still indeed correct. Your question had nothing to do whatsoever with anything in the thread. Are you testing my knowledge? Are you hoping to beat me down before the brethren? You are not making me look bad at all. You are exposing something about yourself, with this constant thing you have with my posting here. Why do you harass me so much? Why do you always insinuate that I do not study scripture. Is it because there are I times when I reference commentary, articles and other resources such as translations. You know no truth about me and you desire not to, you are trying to prove your own unfounded assumptions. More often than not I reference the word of God. You may not like what I believe to be true and you may really believe me to be an anti-christ. I have put out the olive branch several times to you, and I have asked you more than a few times to let God's peace abide between us. Yet no matter what tactic you use I have the fortitude and courage to remain, until they kick me out. I hope whatever it is that you are looking for, be made clear. God is able to make you see what you refuse to see. Even I wish you no ill will and I know that God will bring all of this together for a good purpose on both our behalfs, because he loves us. Even a wretched sinner like me. -Kathy NOTE: Let me apologize to this forum for posting such a firm and candidly analytical response. Please have the benevolence and forbearance, to forgive me, I appeal to you sincerely. |

Searcher, Even you use resources to assist you in your study of scripture. Even you seek greek translations to understand the meanings and context of what was said. And again for you to contend that because I use the same such resources from time to time means that I trust the resource and not the Word, only substantiates my contention that you do not know anything about me, you are not out to prove the word, you are out to prove someone to be wrong and YOU right. (how sad) Maybe you should go back and research your post to me specifically, on more than one occassion you have indeed deemed me against Christ and in subtle terms a false prophet. Which is a blatant abuse of your position, because if you say it, there are those who believe it. Your last sentence shows your intent: "There have been views I have changed, after a careful study of Scripture." Searcher I believe that prayer and the power of God's Spirit changes things. (we are just different and there is nothing wrong with that, let it be) I do not think that anyone studied the scripture in the thread any harder than I did. I searchered every version of scripture and also as you can see in my post the language context. And yes I did read commentary, and study notes. (that is pretty thorough) They served to bolster my own understanding and original belief. Even you said that I should consult an expert in Judiasm (a Rabbi). Truly God Gifted the experts, such as Matthew Henry, Coffman, Darby ...etc. And though I do not always see, their viewpoints, I respect and understand that God has given them a gift, Wisdom. Yet my modus operandi is to lean to God for understanding, not just in studying the Word, but in prayer... which to me is the pivital part of understanding. (having a little talk with God) I am not here to correct anyone's thinking, or to compel anyone to do as I say or do. That is the work of the Spirit. I can only state my belief and understanding. Some of my opinions have been expanded, and I have been enlightened and blessed with a higher understanding by the posts of many others on the forum, who are blessed with Wisdom and the gift of Teaching. You may feel that I have misused the scriptures on various occassions and that is truly your right. Yet I feel you misuse your seniority on this forum, by accusing me continuously of actions and intentions that are bold lies. And to what end, what purpose? You have not changed my views and that is not your job, one can only post his understanding of the scripture, and hopefully site comparable scriptures and the expert resources to show why they understand as they do. And if love and wisdom is imparted someone may be enlightened. If it is rejected, why have a hissy. To consistently try to compel someone to think as you'd like, is not the purpose of this forum. There is freedom in Christ, He never used the bully-pulpit. Now to Him that is able to keep us, let everything be to His glory. Peace to you, Kathy |

The thing that is being missed is that when that song is being sung... the word lift means to exalt... and even the weakest of men can exalt the Name of the One Who has lifted him from the pits of hell. I love you Lord and I worship you Oh my soul rejoice, Take joy my King In every word your hear Let it be a sweet sweet sound to your ear! "I exalt thee" "I exalt thee" Take joy my King In every word your hear Let it be a sweet sweet sound to your ear! |

No Searcher, I do not use sources, extra-Biblical sources without checking to see if what they say is Biblically sound? Such behavior would be wreckless and callous on my part. That is why I take such offense at such a notion. (I have no idea where you ever came to such an assumption) I usually start by pondering the question posed, then (if no scripture is used) I will first search the scripture, to see what the word says on the topic, and test it against my own beliefs. Sometimes the Word will prove my understanding to be totally erroneous, and other times, confirmed. If the query, is in opposition to my understanding, I will not only re-read,and reconsider the scripture, and those that are comparably linked and possibly referenced, I will oftentimes check the history to ascertain what may have been happening at that time concerning the verse. I will reference study material (including the expounders commentaries) to increase my understanding. If the poser of the question persistenly insist that my understanding is in fact flawed, that is when I research the linking scriptures further as well as pull out most of my resources, not so much to prove that I am in fact correct, but to be assured that I am really understanding what is being said. And more often than not, I pray for God's guidance in how to approach the subject at hand. I am not a traditionalist or a very religious person by most standards. Yet I do not discount some of the value in these modes of Christianity. I can only assure you that I love the word and the scriptures to me is a greatest story of Love. As I said before I have not come to discount your view, but only to add mine to the conversation. To you in His Love, -Kathy |

Hiya Steve:) I don't believe you... you just have not gotten your second wind. (giggle) I was just trying to help! (snicker) Well I am going to read some "Huck" Finn!

Greetings Fran: I did not overlook your post! I count it as much wisdom. Thank you! I hope that you accept my posting it in it's full entirety, because reading it has moved me in a powerful way. 2 Peter 1:3-11 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you for the Loving reminder of who we are and what we have! -Kathy |

I am sorry Scribe, but I have been rivoted to this 3 part post. It would be great to post it as a new thread. I think it deserves another look. It is great to have read your testimony of salvation within this post also. I await your further thoughts on this subject patiently. God Bless and ever keep you, -Kathy |

Searcher, Again I can only apologize for the confusion and chaos that the particular post served up. My point would have been better made, using the 2nd Chapter of Acts "all of it." But I did not write the article (which is no excuse since I posted an excerpt from it), my true objective was to simply highlight within it why I worshipped on sunday and not saturday. (Although we do have a intercessory prayer service on Saturdays). Our congregation does have what we call weekend services though, since many have to work on sundays or have other obligations. Let us magnify the Lord together! To you in the Love of Christ, -Kathy |

Thank you so Much Noble! I had no idea that the Muslims had a particular day set aside, to worship. I have friends in an area of Los Angeles called Leimert Park. (I love visiting this place) It is a small Black community rich in Black culture and history. The majority of the residents are Muslims of one group or another. Some Call themselves Black Moslims and others Muslims I have been in the midst of say a game of chess or a conversation and one will get up and say, "I have to go to prayer at the temple see you later." Yet they go at differing times. SO I never thought they had a particular time. I always ignorantly believed they had their daily prayers and worship, without any set aside special day. Although some probably do go on Fridays religiously I was not aware since they go to their temple at various times. You learn something new everyday :) Thanks again, -Kathy |

Kim, I praise God for YOU! His grace is so amazing! My Pastor once broke down translation of the verse of your testimony: He put it this way to bolster our confidence that Jesus is was Always there for us. He said, "No, Never, NOT EVER, I will Never leave you, nor will I ever forsake you! Keeping to my theme (smile) this is the song your testimony brings to my heart: Amazing Grace will always be my song of praise, For it was Grace that brought my liberty. I do not know just why He came to Love me so, He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs! You have blessed my day, May God Bless you richly, -Kathy |

Is "Lifting His name" Biblical? Obviously none of these responses have anything to do with my name, since the question was in regards to lifting Jesus' Name. Therefore I hope with the blessing of the forum participants no one will mind if I change this back to it's original query topic line, and I humbly ask if we choose to post to the topic it will start again from this point. Yes, it is just my personal preference, but seeing my name over and over again under so many different circumstances, is beginning to seem derisive. I am sorry please forgive me if this sounds self-serving. Your sister in Christ, -Kathy |

Dear Ed, I added it here because it was last response bearing my name. I gave my reasons, and if you check the notes, people are still posting to this thread. Yet since your post to this note... someone else has added a note to it. I am sure God will let the right purpose go forth. I asked in the most sincere way possible and explained in the best of my ability... I have no idea what more you require from me in response to your post. As I said it seems so derisive, when a my name is appearing in all manner of post as the topic. I did humbly admited that it was probably more of a self serving request, and therefore my Brother, the choice is yours if you choose to continue to post to the thread that bears my name. And I am sure you know enough about me by now to know that I will not hold it against you. Godd Bless you as always, -Kathy |

Hi Ed, Whatever indeed:) Each post that you mention, bears my name. I apologize if my intent is confusing... but if you just scroll through the notes, there are more than just a few post under the topic: "Kathy, Is Lifting His name Biblical?" As you are aware, recent post have moved away from that subject and yet they all have the same topic, bearing my name. As I said, it was a vain attempt to remove my name from post regarding subjects that are far from what I believe and yet they are indirectly connected to me. It's just me... and you know what, I did not write it to start yet another "thang". It seems that even if I crawl across broken glass, and approach in all humility, I am rarely understood here, in word or deed. You once said that I was too humble, but I just refuse to believe there is such a thing for a human to be. If anything mankind lacks to much humility, and I should seek to be even more humble. There is no such thing as being too humble:) Not in view of the humility of God. and I am not that humble. Alas, once again I apologize for my apparent offensiveness. I meant no insult to you or anyone. Aniset, Indy, and Searcher, I hope you take no offense. And if you do, let me once again apologize. Hiatus time!!! Time to get on my knees and let God knock the dents out of my armor. It is time to go to God's Feast and eat the Bread of life to feed my tired spirit with the Word that gives Life. It is time to take a little hiatus and just let my Father comfort and shed His Love upon me. Don't count me out... I will return. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. See you all in a few days, -Kathy |

199 | Jehonadab, What Think Ye of Christ? | John 14:7 | khuck | 102295 | ||
I may be answering a question posed to someone else yet as a new user, I am compelled to respond and add my belief. This from NIV In John 14, Jesus answers the deity question. 1"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." 8Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." 9Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? Furthermore even before His birth Isaiah referred to Jesus... the "SON" who was to come to us, as "THE EVERLASTING FATHER" Isaiah 9:6 NIV 6 For to us a child is born,to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Also Isaiah foretold that redemption and salvation would come only by the suffering of The Christ Isaiah 53 NIV 8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken. 9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand. 11 After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. So my response: Truly He is God the Son, and God the Father! The Word substantiates that He is our ONLY salvation (none of us can fulfill the law). All of this being true then it stands to reason that no one comes to the Father except by the Christ, Jesus! -Khuck |

200 | what does john 14:7 talk about | John 14:7 | khuck | 102336 | ||
Here Jesus is stating His oneness with God. He is answering a question posed by Thomas in v.5 In v.9 he responds to Phillip further substantiating His oneness in God the Father. v.5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" v.6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. The very statement "I AM" reveals God in Christ. It can easily Translate "God the way and the truth and the life." No one can come to God except thru the person of God the Son. v.7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." v.8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." v.9 Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? v.10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. v.11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; In John 10 Jesus goes on to say that He and God are one in the same. v.27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. v.28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. v.29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. v.30 I and the Father are one." Therefore it speaks of the Deity of the Christ, Jesus. My belief and point of view. -khuck |
