1145 | Should a Christian be a Mason? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 8879 | ||
Mark, the "weired out" you feel is the Holy Spirit inside you telling you that it is wrong. The "uneasy" feeling you get is the Holy spirit grieving. Please, with an open mind, for your family's sake, go to the web site I mentioned in my posting or the ones mentioned in Steve's. God Bless, prayon | ||||||
1146 | Should a Christian be a Mason? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 8837 | ||
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! the Mason's or a higher order of the Mason's - the Shriners are a very secretive organization that proclaim, do and say things that are not consistant with the bible. I will give two examples, although there are many. BOUND BY BLOOD OATHS From the initiation rituals of the "BLUE LODGES" and through all 33 degrees of Freemasonry, every Mason in the world is bound by bloody oaths to maintain the secrets of the Lodge. These binding oaths are kept through the spirit of fear, because the penalties for betraying the brethren of the lodge include serious physical harm to the Mason. Look at them from the perspective of Christ's admonition. The oath sworn by the Entered Apprentice or first degree: "binding myself under no less penalty than that of having my throat cut across, my tongue torn out by its roots, and my body buried in the rough sands of the sea, at low water mark." The Master Mason swears,"under no less penalty than that of having my body severed in two, my bowels taken from thence and burned to ashes, the ashes scatter before the four winds of heaven" (Duncan's Ritual of Freemasonry, 3rd Ed., pp. 35 396, David McKay Pub., New York, NY) THE KING OF THE PIT OF HELL In the seventeenth degree of the Scottish Rite, or The Knights of the East and West Degree, after the candidates have completed the initiation they are given the secret password, Jubulum, and the Sacred Word, Abaddon. Here is the clue to the true identity of the Masonic Deity. It is revealed in the "Sacred Word" of this ritual, "Abaddon." In Revelation 9:11, we learn that "they [the demons and workers from hell] had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon!" Again, I must ask, "How could any true Christian dare to take upon himself that evil name as a sacred word?" the above came from information on a site called www.ericbarger.com/home2.htm I encourage all interested in learning more to visit the site, go to the search engine and type in Masons. I have not even touched the surface. prayon |

1147 | Why couldn't the sons of Sceva exorcise? | Acts 19:16 | prayon | 8831 | ||
In Ephesus many engaged in exorcism and occult practices to make money. Sceva's son's were included in these. They were impressed by Paul's ability to cast out demons by the power God gave to them. They knew that Pauls power was much more powerful because it came from the Holy Spirit. They wanted this amount of power also. In verse 13 we notice that these exocists saod, "I adjure you through the Jesus that Paul proclaims". They did not believe in Jesus and therefore were not saved. Unless you are saved you can not have the power of the Holy Ghost at work within you. Therefore you do not have God's power to heal. prayon | ||||||

1152 | Does the Bible say gambling is a sin? | NT general Archive 1 | prayon | 8765 | ||

1153 | Does the Bible say gambling is a sin? | NT general Archive 1 | prayon | 8749 | ||
I can not find any mention of gambling in the bible. However, the bible refers to addictions throughout the bible. Gambling is a well documented addiction. Addictions are inevitably placed before God which is a sin. Also with this tpye of addiction finances come to mind. We are commanded by God to be good stewards of our finances. I do not believe that gambling falls under being good stewards. prayon | ||||||
1154 | Was Eli lax in discipline? | 1 Sam 2:22 | prayon | 8739 | ||
Eli was more than just lax! Although he had much recognition and respect which he earned in public ha was unable to handle his private affairs. He lacked the two necessary qualities need for parenting - firm resolve and corrective action. He did not take any disiplinary action when made aware of their wrong doings. We must remember also that Eli was not only a father trying to handle his sons he was also the priest ignorig the sins of the priests under his jurisdiction. God, in his love for Isreal, could not allow the problem to continue. Therefore God planned to kill them (v. 25b). God allowed Eli's sons to die as a result of their sins. Eli was also guilty of sin. First for allowing his sons to get away with sinning and second because he honored his sons above God for letting them sin. |

1156 | Are the gifts of the spirit for today? | 1 Cor 12:7 | prayon | 8737 | ||
Yes they are all for today. Many people have dimissed the gifts of the spirit, because they have not understood the value and significance of the gifts. Those people deprive themselves and those who they influence of many blessings. 1Cor 12:7-10 lists the nine spiritual gifts, one being tongues. Throughout the history of the Church there is a record of believers who exercised the gift of speaking in tongues, including such men as John Wesley, Charles Finney and D.L. Moody. There is also much documentation of healings today. All of these gifts are the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is just as active today as he was at Pentecost. |

1160 | Spies gave her? | Josh 2:18 | prayon | 8610 | ||
Great anaswer Nolan! One would wonder why the spies would carry a scarlet cord though. They were trying to blend in and not look suspicious. I do not think everyone would carry a scarlet cord around and it must of been bulky. | ||||||
