661 | Baptism nulifies adultery? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 60111 | ||
NO. It does not. There is no way that a adulterous union can be turned into a sanctified one. The only union that the bible and God sanctifies is marriage of a man and a woman. You can be forgiven for adultery though. All you have to do is ask God for forgiveness, and if you ask it with a sincere heart and then just as Jesus did with the woman at the well who was commiting adultry (John 8:1-11) Jesus will forgive you and tell you to "go and sin no more"(v.11). prayon | ||||||
662 | LEFT BEHIND? | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 60109 | ||
AMEN!!!!! Someone needed to do something to give sight to the blind. I, too, think it is OK to scare the daylights out of an unbeliever. Even a believer. The unbeliever, hopefully, will be drawn into opening the bible. And hopefully will be drawn into going to church. The one thing that scares me is that there are so many preachers out there who make light of the end times or refuse to discuss it for fear of stepping on someone's toes. Then the unbeliever could end up right back where they started - thinking there is nothing to worry about. As for the believer, if it scares them too, I say Good! Hopefully, it scares them into a closer relationship with God. And as far as I am concerned we can never be close enough. prayon |

663 | Do we display consistency to the world? | Matt 11:7 | prayon | 60105 | ||
Hank said it perfectly - surely my brother you jest! If this far fetched situation did happen however I would suggest that Tom and Jerry stop acting like cats on the hunt and instead be as quiet as mice until they read and absorb Matthew 6:3-5.....prayon | ||||||
664 | Church Building or Not | Bible general Archive 1 | prayon | 60103 | ||
Greetings, I have been to many churches that do not have a "permanent home". One instance comes to mind when the pastor wanted so badly to have a permanent home that he went ahead and put a down payment on a building. However, it wasn't Gods time and he found out that there were zoning laws and he could not move in there. I am not sure if he was able to get the money back or not. He learned a hard lesson in not trusting God and striking out on what self wanted. To this day that church still meets in a storefront. I don't believe that it truly matters to God where you praise Him as long as the church is a church based on the word and that church worships God and puts Him above all else. If your church is a church that is based on the word of God then I am sure that God will lay it on your pastor's heart when the time comes to building a church and your pastor will obey God. Also, I sincerely believe that God will not only lay it on your pastor's heart but also on other members of the church. You, yourself state that you do not find much enthusiasm for building. That tells me that the time has not come for that move. Whether to move to another church or not is a question that only prayer from you to God will answer. I don't believe that the building is a good reason to find another church, but maybe there are other issues that come into play here as well. As I said before it is not the building that is important. I say this with love; maybe God is using the building to teach you something. Ask Him. It is possible that God is letting you go through this time of questions and frustration to help you to stand firmer in adversity. Or maybe to help you to become more humnble in dealing with the leaders of the church, a difficult lesson and one that I had to go through. Or maybe He is trying to make your trust in and reliance on Him stronger. There could be many different things. Remember He is constantly putting us through trials and tribulations to make us stronger and to prepare us for His plans for us in the future. This situation could be one of your trials. Hope this help, prayon |

Greetings Hank! There are definitly 10. I have read them all and have a copy of them. if you look at my first reply I listed the names. There may be 18 in the kids series, I am not sure how many have been written for them. By the way, tell Dottie that Walmart has the hard back copy for 14.97. That's I usually get mine. Have a blessed day! By the way it looks like the finances are going to come through for my prayer request about the tuition! Agape, Susan | ||||||
666 | King or god? | Is 57:9 | prayon | 59947 | ||
Hello Hank! Sometimes I think we are really more foolish and idolatrous today than they were back then. Don't we do the same things they did back then - worship the same things, sometimes in the same ways? Plus we have added a few new ones! agape, prayon | ||||||
667 | How do they relate | Matt 12:29 | prayon | 59945 | ||
Why does the strong man represent Satan? And how does "plunder his house" pertain to Christ's power over demons? prayon | ||||||
668 | King or god? | Is 57:9 | prayon | 59944 | ||
Greetings, In the NKJV it states that "you went to the king with ointment" yet in the NRSV it states that "you journeyed to Molech with oil". Molech is an Amorite god so he could not of been the king. Who did he go to the king or a god? prayon | ||||||
669 | A Loving GOD Who Hates | Mal 1:3 | prayon | 59943 | ||
Greetings mbooker, Actual emotional hatred for Esau and his offspring is not the point here. The context here speaks of love as "choosing for intimate fellowship" and hate as "not choosing for intimate fellowship" in the realm of redemption. Malachi, who wrote this declaaration more than 1500 years after their death, was looking back at these two men, and by extension the nations of Israel and Edom that came from their loins rather than to the individual brothers. God chose one for divine protection and blessing and the other He left for divine judgement. Edom's judgement is further discussed in Obadiah in which Obadiah points out that the Lord's hatred was against Esau's idolatrous descendants. Hope this gives you a better understanding. prayon | ||||||

Greetings Justme, I think the most reasonable place to get the books is at the Public Library. The names of the books in order are: 1) Left Behind (which is now also on video, you can rent it from some of the video rental stores such as Blockbuster) 2)Tribulation Force 3)Nicolae 4)Soul Harvest 5)Apollyon 6)Assassins 7)The Indwelling 8)The Mark 9)Desecration 10)The Remnant Enjoy Reading! This is an excellent series! Remember, however, that this is a fiction series and although they attempt to follow the bible it is still man's interpretation of the end times and tribulation. prayon |

671 | what is the meaning behind circumcision? | Gen 17:11 | prayon | 59389 | ||
Greetings okie tex, According to the account of the circumcision found in Gen 17:10-14 circumcision is one of the ways that God established His covenant with Abraham. To the Israelites circumcision was not merely a surgical procedure, it was above all a symbol of God's covenant with Abraham and his descendants. To the Israelites. It symbolized the physical and spiritual continuity of the Israelite generations. Without the circumcision one could not participate in public worship nor become a member of Israel's community. prayon | ||||||
672 | What is meant by praying in the spirit? | 1 Corinthians | prayon | 59388 | ||
Greetings Mike, mbooker gave a good answer. Praying in the spirit is letting go and letting the Holy Spirit do the praying. When I don't know what to pray the Holy Spirit does. Praying in the spirit is just that - putting self on the back burner and allowing the Holy Spirit inside of you to come out and pray what needs to be prayed. prayon | ||||||

674 | why blood for sin-offering? | Heb 9:22 | prayon | 59386 | ||
Greetings turtlesrcool,The blood is an important part of the sacrifice becuse the life of the flesh is the blood. Blood carries life sustaining elements to all parts of the body; therefore it represents the essence of life. In contrast, the shedding of blood represents the shedding of life. Since blood contains the life, blood is sacred to God. Shed blood from a substitute atones for or covers the sinner, who is then allowed to live. In the OT when a sacrifice was given the worshiper was to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, which would then be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him. Putting one's hands on the head of the animal was a smbolic way of transferring sin or the guilt of sin to the animal which was then killed on the sinner's behalf. Hope this helps, prayon |

675 | Rosa Sharon Tree | Song 2:1 | prayon | 59180 | ||
Greetings unbridledwinds, The rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley are flowers found in Israel. "Rose of sharon" refers not to the rose but to the asphodel (genus Asphodel of the lily family) or some other flower. Roses were known in Palestine after the OT period and are refered to at sir. It is believed by some that the 'rose of sharon' may be a crocus but it is more likely that it is the meadow saffron which resembles the crocus. Others believe that it is a bright red tulip-like flower (Tulipa montana), that is prolific in the hills of Sharon today. (Eerdmans Bible dictionary and Harpers Bible dictionary). prayon | ||||||
