1021 | More comments? | Ex 20:15 | prayon | 15379 | ||
I agree with Norrie. On breaks and on lunch it should be ok but not while on company time. The company is paying you to do a job not to be on the forum. What it boils down to is as Ed said - It is stealing. No matter how much we rationalize it it is still stealing from the company. Any other comments? | ||||||

1023 | What is Secular Humanism? | John 15:5 | prayon | 15259 | ||
Humanism is a thought or attitudinal perspective rather than a specific belief system. After the time of the NT church, certain Christian leaders attempted to harmonize the Greek preoccupation with human reason with Christian teachings concererning the deity of Jesus Christ. In doing this they hoped to make Chrisitanity more palatable to potential converts in the Greek world - but in fact they did violence to Scripture and were responsible for some of the most destructive heresies ever to trouble the Christian church. The authors of these heresies, however, unwittingly moved teachers faithful to the Scriptures to prepare explicit confessions of faith still treasured by orthodox believers today: the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds. During the period referred to as the Dark Ages (Ad 476-1450), human reason continued to be elevated. The philosophy known as Sceular Humanism claims to offer hope to a world in crisis by proposing a new world religion that has no God. Based on ethical ideals that are to be developed scientifically and technologically through faith in the :innate potential" of every human bbeing. Secular Humanism asserts the human capacity for self-realization through reason. The thoughts, attitudes, and way of life vased on Secular Humanism were expressed in A Humanist Manifesto (1933) and expanded on in Humanist Manifesto II (1973). This anti-God philosophy continues to surround Christians every day through the printed and electonic media of contemprary culture. It constantly challenges out belief in God and promises found in His Word. (From: How to respond to Secular Humanism by Philip H. Lochhaas) prayon |

1024 | should you tithe | Malachi | prayon | 15256 | ||
Lillie, I direct you to Malachi 3:8-10. Malachi states that if you do not tithe you are robbing God. The nation referred to here was cursed because they did not tithe. Everything that we have belongs to God. When we do not give Him our tithes we are robbing him of what is already his. Nehemiah 13:11 says that when we don't tithe we forsake the house of God. prayon | ||||||

1033 | where is paradise? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 13795 | ||
Paradise is heaven. Harper's Bible Dictionary defines it as a location or status of uninterrupted bliss. The word paradise is of Persian origin and denotes a park or forest. Since the Bible lands were often barren, it is not surprising that such and image would be meaningful. Paul speaks of Paradise in connection with his vision of the "third heaven" (2Cor 12:1-4). In Luke 23:42-43 when the thief asks Jesus to remember him when Jesus came in His kingship, Jesus replied that that day he would be with Him in paradise. I don't believe that one can be in a state of total bliss while on this earth. We are continuously going through trials and temptations to help us mature in Christ. Please explain what you mean when you say he's experiencing things where he's been before. Does he think he was reincarnated? |

1034 | What does Scripture say about the Spirit | NT general Archive 1 | prayon | 13787 | ||
Greetings Joren - Welcome to the forum. You have asked many questions I will do my best. First as for speaking in tongues if you go to the quick search and type in "tongues" you will find a lot of information about tongues - if they don't answer your questions about that let me know and I will be happy to. Tongues is a gift from God (1Cor 12:8-11)- just as God didn't give the gift of healing to all He didn't give the gift of tongues to all. Now for the Holy Spirit. A good study reference is the Nave's Topical Bible. It will lead you to all the scriptures on any subject you are seeking. I recommend it highly. You can also type in Holy Spirit in the quick search. You have asked so many question on the Holy Spirit that it is pretty much impossible to answer them all in one reply. In the future it would be much simplier to ask one question at a time so that each question can be given a apprpriate responce. I will try to answer some of them. The Holy Spirit is given to us (1cor 12:7, Rom 5:5) by God and since He dwells in us (1Cor 3:16) is readily available to us but I believe that we must ask Him to work in our life. In reading Acts 19:2-6 we see that you can believe without having received the Holy Spirit, that is why I believe you must ask Him to become active in your life. Acts 7:51 tells us that we can resist the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is also a teacher (Luke 12:12, John 14:26) I do not know what it is referring to when it says "supernatural witness". I would be curious who wrote the booklets you are referring to. What you mentioned about not givng very many definites and contradicting itself concerns me. I know of no basis for saying that Spirit consists of primarily emotional/physical experiences. I believe that the bible contridicts this. Just as the Spirit gives us different gifts He also gives different manifestations of Himself in individuals. If one person dances, speaks in tongues, and is very physical as you put it does not mean that he is any more spiritual than you. (I would bet that one day you will experience an outward display yourself though). You are correct in saying that we all struggle with sin and we have already seen that everyone has the Spirit who is saved. Having sin in our life does not mean that we are without the Spirit. Please feel free to ask as many more questions as you like - but please one topic per question so we can cover each topic thoroughly. prayon |

1035 | Mission of Jesus | Mark 1:14 | prayon | 13775 | ||
According to the Life Application commentary what it is saying here is that Jesus had come to break the power of sin and begin God's personal reign on earth. Most of the people who heard this message were oppressed, poor, and without hope. Jesus' words were good news because they offered freedom, justice and hope. prayon | ||||||
1036 | NAHUM FIRST OR JONAH | Nahum | prayon | 13773 | ||
Jonah went to Ninevah and told the people to repent around 759 BC. The book of Nahum was written between 663 and 654 BC so it was written after. prayon | ||||||
1037 | IN 1Cor.3:15 Is it the person or the wor | 1 Corinthians | prayon | 13660 | ||
The works. On judgement day Christ will evaluate each person's contribution to the life of the church and will reveal the sincerity of each person's work. God will determine whether or not they have been faithful to Jesus' instructions. Good work will be rewarded, unfaithful or inferior work will be discounted. "The builder will be saved but only as through fire" means that unfaithful workers will be saved but like people escaping from a burning building. All their possessions or accomplishments will be lost. (exert from the Life Application Bible). | ||||||
1038 | what is the book of Romans all about? | Romans | prayon | 13658 | ||
Romans is the most comprehensive guide to the structure of the Christian faith. It is the longest and generally regarded as the most important of Paul's letters. It's purpose was to give the Romans a sample of his message before he arrived in Rome. The basis of the book is what to believe and how to believe. Paul clearly sets forth the foundations of the Christian faith and gives clear, practical guidelines for the believer. It includes teaching on sin, salvation, growth, and God's sovereignty. prayon | ||||||
1039 | Do tongues indicate presence of Holy Spi | 1 Cor 14:19 | prayon | 13298 | ||
Greetings Bobbie! I also agree with Nolan, Moran, and Steve. I do speak in tongues but I want to add that I didn't speak in tongues right away. I believe that it is a gift that the Lord perfects and puts into "action" when the season is right. prayon | ||||||
1040 | What is Christ's rest? | Matt 11:28 | prayon | 13034 | ||
People were heavy-laden and weary from carrying around their burdons of sin, excessive demands of religious leaders (Acts 23:4), oppression and persecution, and plain worry. A yoke is a heavy wooden harness that fits over the shoulders of an ox or oxen. In Jesus day a man would by an ox and take it to a carpenter who measured its shoulders and made a yoke to fit. Jesus was probably thinking back to his days as a carpenter when he used this anology. If a yoke wasn't fitted properly an ox was sure to of suffered badly, but Jesus always made the yoke to fit perfectly. Oxen were sometimes yoked together to pull the load or do the work. Christ made our yoke to fit together with Him perfectly so that He can help us with our load and give us rest. His yoke will fit us easily. When we become Christians we are immediately yoked together with Him. When we are yoked together with Him he shares our load with us and if we run out of strength he can let Him pull the entire load. We no longer have to bear our burdens alone. Therefore when we are yoked together with Him we have the ability to rest and let Him carry our many burdens. We will come short of entering God's rest when we keep some of our burdens instead of giving them to Him entirely. If we carry any of our own load of burdens we can not have rest. According to the Old Testament the Sabbath was a day of rest (Exo. 20:8-11). You were not to do any work whatsoever on a Sunday. You were even forbidden to carry more than a pound (which means you could take a pen to church but you couldn't take your bbible :o)..) In Heb 4:9-11 we are told again to give our burdens to Christ and rest, but it our choice whether we enter into that rest. |
