1 | Looking for honest preachers | Rom 5:5 | wwv | 50553 | ||
Dear Isha, I couldn't agree more in promoting the word, but aren't we at a time were we need to know (or at the very least keep on the look out) for WHO we are fighting WITH? praying for the straight path of the holy spirit and always in the same love Christ has for His people. William |

2 | Looking for honest preachers | Not Specified | wwv | 50471 | ||
I have seen a rececnt post comparing T.V. evangelism to false prophesy. Should we throw all of them into one big pot? Or are there some better than others? Can any of them be trusted? It seems some, at least (John Hagee for instance), have a lot to offer in the teaching of the word. I do not, however, personally like it when they say " YOU MUST listen to MY tapes and TODAY for the special deal of ONLY so much money". you get the idea. And it seems a great deal of them always manage to incorporate sermons on tything ( many times making you feel 'guilty' and not 'inspired' to give the ministry money). Does that seem like the Christian spirit? William |

4 | Should women be allowed to preach? | Galatians | wwv | 50151 | ||
Dear forum, I've been reading this discussion for a bit and their are some fine points. It would seem that men are continually loosing ground as to any kind of authoritative strength through righteousness. Doesn't it say somewhere that the family hierarchy for leadership is as follows: God the father, Jesus Christ the son, man, woman, then beast. If we consider ourselves as a Christian family shouldn't we want to follow those same guidelines? Isn't it true that men and woman are diff. emotionally. Maybe for playing the appropriate roles in Gods will for a family Well, the two reasons I like men better for preachers are 1)they have a natural 'father figure' authority (i.e. I seem to receive Fathers word more securely from a strict fathers voice), and 2) It says in 1 Tim. 2:14 "And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression." By the way that's not a cultural thing.( I read earlier in regards to that out of date cultural thing, that we don't stone adulterers any more- well don't take this wrong but I wish we had more strict rules on adultery; less abortion, much fewer "dead beat" fathers and mothers, more societal production thru stay together families, etc., etc. I am not saying woman can't preach, I'm saying it's more appropriate scripturally if we want a blameless family and a more pure relationship to the word. Aren’t we trying to stay as pure to the word as possible. God Bless William |

5 | Why is killing enimies in the OT okay? | Bible general Archive 1 | wwv | 50017 | ||
You are a sweetheart, but I can't help not having sympathy for God's creation (good or bad), and I can't help not feeling a part of his ‘everything’ sort of speak .I may or may not be chosen to avoid His punishment, but even if I am, I will still feel like hell when the entire world (let alone all my loved ones) are down here goin thru this crap. I apologize sincerely for my language, but what I read in rev. brings a rather graphic image to mind ( don’t get me wrong I know it’s just and I firmly believe He’s doing what’s best for His creation-OUR best interest as a WHOLE). You know I really don’t understand the rapture thing, fully, but since we’re going to be ‘brought up into the air’ won’t we be watching or at least be able to see with our physical eyes the devastation of the earth. Even if that weren’t true, I still look around and see ‘everything’ that’s coming and I’m happy and hurt at the same time. Happy that my eyes are opened and hurt that many other eyes are not. The sad thing is that it’s usually their choice. I guess ,in short, I think of it like this. God made this huge beautiful creation right. Well, we are all part of this unique creation saved and unsaved alike. And in His ‘grand scheme of things’ His world, His creation, us and everything in it MUST go thru a ‘grand furnace’, if you will, to refine His “gold” or to “polish (more like grind-no more like polish since he did his ‘grinding’ back in Canaan as well as others in the O.T. ) his “diamond in the rough”. I think it’s the best feeling to know that he loves us so so much that he is able get rid of the crap!(evil of all sorts) by destroying His own creation, allowing those who truly love Him and are willing to obey Him to prosper the creation he really wants. HE KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOIN. And it’s certainly a peaceful feeling knowing somebody does. I wish everyone could make it to this heavenly place, but the bible says No! Well, with Gods blessings to everyone. William P.S.Knowing the little I know, I have no fear of what's goin ta take place. May the Lords' peace be with you. |

Ain't that the truth. We're in for a 'doosey' of a punishment this time, ha?. This discussion sure is proof of His consistant warnings (and our consistant denials). When will we ever learn. Soon, I guess. God bless you, Mommapbs William |

I am kind of disappointed you don’t care to continue this forum. Although I find myself siding with the bible the more I study, you bring up some very real points. Well worth discussion. Discussion though, not mean spirited comments. You brought up some excellent issues that are in much need of investigation and study. I find there is a ton of information packed in one little book called the bible . I believe the ‘enormousness’, if you will, of Gods’ word is a little much to have it just written down and then take at face value. That’s why I truly believe we NEED the Holy Spirit to guide us through it. Try reading any book in Hebrew , not knowing Hebrew. Mandy, I totally agree with you, though, It seems appalling for a truly loving god to kill his own creation ( I now realize the purpose of the slaughter in Canaan, but that was after my ‘first glance’ of the Word). Maybe you can tell by the fruits of the killers and the fruits of the ones being killed. I certainly don’t have the expertise that Steve does, but I am the better for the TWO of you on this forum. I know we’re not the only ones to have these awkward questions, so there is a need for skeptical discussions to get the truth out. It’s not always easy to understand radical ideas. Good things come to those who diligently seek the truth (with the right heart), so don’t give up. I pray that anyone with a hard heart can open up enough for the Holy Spirit to shed the light, needed to experience the love and peace I have received. Believe it or not it’s real. In any case, I thank you for sharing your thoughts. As for me , I’m glad I am not the only one to have wonderment concerning this, so I can further my study. God bless you and keep searching. (knock and the doors shall be opened) William |

Dear forum, I don't mean to be asking what some may think as an obvious and easily researched question, but could someone give me references to why Mary and Joseph fled to betheleham and then egypyt? Old and new test. Maybe there is already discussion on this subject in the forum. Please show me.Thankyou. William |

10 | Satan and Jesus, brothers? | Matt 7:22 | wwv | 49710 | ||
Dear searcher, I hope you don't misunderstand my intentions. I also have no desire to follow cults, but I do want to follow the truth. I guess I may have worded my question wrong “Is there anything to that?”. I certainly wasn't asking if their may be a possibility that they're right. I was more curious to know where they get that idea from..I thought it may be a good tool for witnessing. There is one truth and many fakes. I think it is our duty (our soul dependent duty) to search for that truth. I may be wrong and my faith may not be as true as it should be. But again I think a better term here is investigation (not study) and I do appreciate your candor. God Bless William |

11 | Satan and Jesus, brothers? | Matt 7:22 | wwv | 49700 | ||
Dear EdB, Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t the Jehovah Witnesses believe in something similar to Jesus and Satan having been brothers? Is there anything to that? Do they believe that because they were both before creation? Or what? I’ve heard of this before and I’d be interested in knowing more. From anyone From the heart, William |

12 | Healing powers of the false prophets? | Matt 7:22 | wwv | 49694 | ||
Dear EdB, You know you are so right. It seems wherever I go I hear someone saying ‘don’t judge’ or ‘who gave YOU the right to judge’. I always retaliate by saying “what it says is that ‘don’t judge lest you be judged’, meaning that in the same way you judge you will also be judged, so that if you’re trying to set someone inform them about an issue (such as drinking) in their ways you’ll have MUCH more impact by being blameless in your ways, but even if your ways are not ‘perfect’ it doesn’t mean the truth isn’t.” I hope I’m doing right The world doesn’t like to be scolded and I think this half-truth that is out there is a convenient way for the world to comfort itself. In a misery that it doesn’t even know it’s in. As long as it has taken for the world to get in the shape it’s in. It seems to get mad at those trying to turn it around. So the people that love the world want others to share in its guilt and by tapping into that spirit of that half-truth covers up their most treasured pleasure (as well as Satan’s most treasured commodity) Sin. Quite an effective tool by Satan don’t you think. I will always try to be on the lookout for the evil one, and I will always pray for the light that ONLY Jesus Christ can give me. I will pray the same for this forum. I also agree that little compromises can lead one into damnation without knowing it.( that’s not entirely true. One usually knows WHEN it happens, they just don’t know how dangerous it is(“or its just not a big deal”). Before you know it that one compromise turns into a thousand and all of a sudden you’re buried in all sorts of little problems. God bless, William |

Dear Guy, Thank You, your response has so much affirmation for me. And what a resource of information. This must be an indication of how much emphasis we must put on Satan’s' deceiving practices. You know it drives me crazy that it doesn't seem to bother my friends like it does me. That they just keep going about their business without any concern to the deception. I mean I know I have backslidden caused from just one little lie, i.e. in my search for the truth I was told not to be mislead and to go astray, so instead of continuing my search and finding the scripture that says it's O.K. to test all spirits I backed off and was ripe for the picking (BAD MISTAKE). I’m back searching for the truth stronger than ever, but I admit to losing much needed ground for evangelism. That’s just one little lie of a myriad of them. It seems overwhelming doesn’t it? It seems that there is more meaning to the word “believe” (John 3:16) than meets the eye. Again I thank you for your response Guy, and I pray that your loved ones will recognize how strong Satan is, that they are watchful and weary to his ways. God bless you. William |

Dear Mommapbs, What a wonderful answer, with a wealth of scriptural knowledge. Although I didn't mean to come across as I was in judgment. I am more concerned with my own personal evangelism. If they can be deceived with their knowledge of the scriptures then where do I stand? It seems like it is more difficult to "just" believe than meets the eye. I mean that the more I study (not just memorizing, but understanding) the more I want to learn and the more amazing this whole deal is. But I don't want to be deceived into learning the "wrong" truth. I do understand the wrong motives of preaching, such as greed, but that is something that must be obvious (isn’t it?). That’s not what I am worried about. I am worried about believing my own (or his own) lies as if they were coming from the Lord, e.g. how hard would it be to start a ministry with the right heart, run millions of dollars through it, then start making excuses for why I need a fortress of a home around a 40 acre lake (that I just purchased) for the purpose of protecting my family from the evil elements around me (or at least that would be the excuse). That’s not how I think anymore, but do you see where I am going with this? It seems the more you know the subtler Satan is. Again, I am in no position to judge anyone with final judgment (however I will judge whom I follow), so I apologize for coming off like that. I thank you very much and may God bless you and this forum. William |

These people are denied entry to kingdom of God because they never really knew the Lord. Were they ones who were deceived? Were did they get their power to cast out demons from? Does Satin or the Antichrist have power to use the lords’ name to perform miracles? I noticed some good comments on the 1/2/02 posts. One offered the idea that they were actually trying to lie on that Day of Judgment. Another more scary idea, yet as feasible, was that they believed in a 'false Jesus' using his name only but not his reality (maybe having the form of Godliness but denying the power thereof?). When I say Scary, I worry about many preachers, men of God, faith healers, etc. who have really come to believe they are anointed by the Lord and in fact may not be. That's a kind of fear that any Christian should be afraid. Any comments. |

17 | Where was God when Jesus was here? | John 3:16 | wwv | 49599 | ||
Dear Justme, What a wonderful response to my question.That explains a lot to me. Especialy the Colossians 1:15-23 referance,Thank you.You've just helped me to get closer to the truth. Could you give me more insight on His human form. When Jesus was a little boy(say 2 or 3), did He know he was God, Or did he realize it when he was baptized by John? And when he was walking the earth was he also(simultaneously)in the heavens? |

18 | What does the term 'Son' mean? | John 3:16 | wwv | 49591 | ||
In John 3:16 what exactly is the meaning of His 'only' begotten (unique) Son? Is Jesus Christ a spirit or a special angel of God that could not be duplicated, or was Jesus the ONLY person that has and will ever be given the full authority of GOD to do His purpose to redeem His creation? And as far as the 'only' part, If the Lord created more "Sons' " would that defeat the sovereignty of His redemption plans? Could someone give me an insight to this delema? What does 'Son' really mean? | ||||||
