841 | What do you think? | Luke 6:42 | prayon | 144888 | ||
Greetings EdB, Hank and Searcher sorta said the same thing you did - please read my replies to them. I agree that forgiveness was available to them from God although I have a hunch that it was not available from the church. The "church had not pray for this couple and noone from the church came to invite the young lady to church". How do you welcome someone in the church when you don't even invite them to come? prayon |

842 | What do you think? | Luke 6:42 | prayon | 144889 | ||
Greetings Ed, np using my post - I don't mind. Your statement "Sure people get hurt, and that is a shame but to use it as excuse to justify being out of relationship with God is without support" I don't agree with you 100 percent - 90 percent yes but not 100 percent. I know of someone who loved church - who was raised in the church and loved God. They went to a church and got extremely hurt and offended by the pastor. This pastor (a male) who claimed to be so righteous but yet made a pass at the person I know who is also a male. He felt so violated by this pastor that he did not trust any pastor anymore - which is a shame. It has taken years for this person to go back to church but the whole time he kept up his relationship with God by prayer, Christian music and occationally a bible study that was not a church along with associating with other Christians. It is a horrible fact but there are a few rotten pastors heading churches that are giving most pastors a very bad image. Agape, prayon |

Greetings, I would appreciate it if you would speed up the process of taking the rain. Peopel drive in rain here like southeners drive in the snow - without the common sence God gave them! Last storm they tell me that there were over 300 wrecks! And by the way - since you agreed to take the rain would you mind taking the twisters too? ;o) prayon | ||||||
847 | Who wet Jesus feet with her tears? | Luke 7:44 | prayon | 4020 | ||
Luke tells us that a woman wet Jesus feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. Does anyone know who this woman was? | ||||||
848 | Who wet Jesus feet with her tears? | Luke 7:44 | prayon | 4038 | ||
Thanks Phil for your input. However the woman can not be Mary, sister of Lazarus. Both incidents did happen in the house of Simon the Pharisee, if Simon the leper and Simon the Pharisee are indeed the same person, but the woman in Luke was a sinner whom the diciples believed was not worthy of touching the feet of Jesus. Mary would never fit into that description. Also Luke says that the women poured a jar of ointment on His feet whereas Mary poured a jar of perfume on Jesus head. One was done early in Jesus' ministry and the other done during the Passover time. | ||||||
849 | Who is Mary Magdalene? | Luke 8:2 | prayon | 131484 | ||
Greetings JoAnn and welcome to the forum, No, they are not one in the same. Mary Magadalene was one of the women who ministered to Jesus and contributed to Him financially. She was identified as "one from whom 7 demons had gone out"(Luke 8:2). She has traditionally been identified with the sinful woman (a prostitute) who annointed His feet with expensive oil and dried them with her tears but that is unlikely since she is introduced in 8:2. No name is ever given for either of the women you have mentioned. Hope this helps. prayon | ||||||

851 | how were the sisters | Luke 10:42 | prayon | 72088 | ||
Greetings, Mary and Martha were different in that Marh was impassioned and imaginative while Martha was practical and unemotional. Martha was probably the older one and the home maker. In this passage Martha became upset that Mary sat at the Lord's feet listening to His teaching while she was doing all the work. Martha complained to Jesus about this. Jesus told her that Mary was doing the better thing because she was concentrating on that thing which could not be taken away from her. Jesus was more interested in food for the soul rather than food for the body. What Martha was concentrating on was something that could be done anytime. prayon |

I agree. I was the same way. Wouldn't it be nice if we could go back and change some of the things we blew? My grandchildren also come first in my life now, (along with my daughter who is the only one left at home now). Wonder if that is why we are such better grandma's than we are mom's? prayon | ||||||
854 | Can a christian forgive sins? | Luke 11:4 | prayon | 73532 | ||
Greetings, just a note.... We must remember that we can forgive a person for "wronging" us. That releases us from unforgiveness but we can not forgive them for commiting the sin. The only one who can forgive is God and the sinner must go to God himself. We can not do this for him. prayon |

855 | Can a christian forgive sins? | Luke 11:4 | prayon | 73535 | ||
Greetings, No a person can not. We can forgive a person for sinning or "wronging" us which releases us from the sin of unforgiveness but the only way a person can be forgiven for their sins is to go to God themselves. We can not ask for forgiveness for someone else because to be forgiven for a sin you must desire the forgiveness from your heart, and we have no power over another persons heart. We can however, intercede for the person and ask God to have mercy on them. prayon | ||||||
856 | Blamfamings the Holy Spirit | Luke 12:10 | prayon | 35674 | ||
ewendall, the answer is yes. The unforgivable sin involves an ongoing rejection of the Holy Spirit's work and thus of God himself. A person who has commited this sin has shut himself off from God so completely that he is unaware of any sin at all. A person who fears of having committed this sin shows by his concern that he is not guilty of this sin. prayon | ||||||
857 | Eternal security vs Luke 12:46/Matt.25 | Luke 12:46 | prayon | 64866 | ||
Greetings bhaun and welcome to the forum! In any parable if you understand what each person(s) symbolize you can better understand what it is about. In the parable of the 10 virgins in Matthew the bridegroom is Christ and the 10 virgins are the believing Christians. The lamps are a symbol of the profession that Christ is Lord and died for our sins. The oil symbolizes the power and person of the Holy Spirit. In this parable it stands for the oil that makes the lamp produce light or the Holy Spirit behind the outward profession (the lamp) that makes a difference between a life lived by the power of the Holy Spirit and the merely nominal Christian. The sleepers are those who are those Christians who are commonly called "Sunday Christians" - those who claim to be Christians but are complacent about Christ. The midnight cry is the return of Christ. Those Christians who are saved, sanctified and baptized with the Holy Spirit will go with Christ to the marriage supper. Those who aren't will be left behind. In Luke (also in Matt 24:45-51) in the parable of the Faithful Steward it agains refers to the return of Christ. The steward is the Christian and the master is Christ. Those who are 'about their father's business' will be taken in the rapture and those who aren't won't. Being 'about their father's business' in this parable emphasizes the responsibility of every Christian to feed Christ's sheep with the bread of Christ (his word). prayon |

858 | Can man refuse God's invitation? | Luke 14:16 | prayon | 2239 | ||
You are right. The parable refers to God offering His kingdom and the gift of salvation to the Jewish people 2000 years ago. The Jewish people refused not believing that Christ was the true Messiah. This refussal is the gift of God called free will. In Genesis 2:15-16 it tells us that God gave Adam the responsibility of caring for the Garden of Eden and told him not to eat of the fruit rather than physically preventing him from doing so. In other words God gave Adam the choice of eating the fruit or not eating the fruit. Throughout the bible are countless stories when man went against God's wishes and chose to do what God commanded them not to do. The Luke parable is just another example of man not choosing God's way. God's call is irresistable. If it were not there would be no evil in the world. Man would not be able to refuse God if His call was indeed irresistable. (When the Jewish people refused the invitation God then extended that invitation to the Gentiles). |

859 | Question from a newbie | Luke 14:26 | prayon | 110251 | ||
Greetings Lulu and welcome, I like what mommapsbs said but I just wanted to add that the best thing that you can do for your parents is to be Christ-like. What your parents have seen in the church is unfortunetly very prevalent in today's churches. The behavior though needless to say is not that which Christ seeks. Show your parents what true Christianity is about - loving one another and serving Him humbly but joyfully. prayon | ||||||
860 | Can I come home again, or apostate? | Luke 15:24 | prayon | 61020 | ||
Greetings Pemican, You keep referring to Paul as the writer of Hebrews. Although it is a possibility that Paul did write Hebrews it is doubtful. The epistle itself does not support this claim. The style, vocabulary, and literary characteristics differ from the other books that Paul wrote. In addition, the writer of Hebrews includes himself among those who had received confirmation of Christ's message from others (2:3). Paul states in Galations 1:12 that he received his confirmation directly from God and not from men. Luke is also a possibility, however, Hebrews does not follow his style either. Other possibilities include Barnabas, Silas, Apollos, Phillip, Pricilla, Aquilla, and Clement of Rome. Whoever it was does refer to Timothy as "brother". prayon | ||||||
