81 | Who is qualified? | 1 Tim 6:17 | 2ndSamuel22 | 53644 | ||
Dear InTheAndes, Welcome to the forum!! You truly are an example of what it means to "forsake all, take up the Cross and follow Him." I will be "giving up" a week(like it was mine to begin with!!) at the end of July to travel with my church to Jeddito,AZ to witness to the Navajo. I understand what you are saying about how every little thing we do is going to offend SOMEBODY. Example, observing the Sabbath. Is it Saturday, or Sunday? With all the changes to the calendar over the last millenia or so, who knows? How many leap years have been missed? Today's Sunday, how do we know it really isn't Wednesday??? One thing you mentioned in your post caught my eye. You said, "because some christians are "offended" that it was expensive. "You should sell that couch and use the money to feed the poor" blah blah blah, You sell something that you own." Boy, did somebody just step out of Matthew 26 or what? Matt 26:7 a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclined at the table. Matt 26:8 But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said, "Why this waste? Matt 26:9 "For this perfume might have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor." Be strong, persevere, always seek His face, and continue to be a worthy vessel for Our Lord to work through. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

Dear Hank, I think this might have been a typo. Maybe, "a stroke of His pen." God is my strength and power, and He makes my way perfect!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

83 | Avoiding paritality in soul care | James 2:1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 53238 | ||
Dear mommapbs, At the risk of sounding flip, it appears your minister is more concerned with the 'edifice' of the church, than the 'edification'. I would have to refer your pastor to the Gospel According to John, chapter 3. Nicodemus was a wealthy Pharisee, yet his soul needed tending to(although he did not know it at the time). In fact, he was one of the first people Jesus ministered to, since Nicodemus was not poor in material things, but poor in spirit. That's how I see it, anyway. Do not despair. Take your problem to him directly. And even if he does not minister to your needs, we have a High Priest who has already walked out your solution. God bless!! He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

84 | What commandments to keep? | 1 John 2:4 | 2ndSamuel22 | 54693 | ||
Dear Hank, While I sympathize with bubbatate's spiritual odessy, she seems to contradict herself. She says that she could not believe this person, or that person to tell the truth about the Scriptures. But then who does she finally trust to tell the truth? Another person. There is no one on this planet who can explain--without doubt or uncertainty--what is contained in the Holy and Inspired Word of God except...God. I, or you, or Brad, or any of us will undoubtedly be in error about some part of Scripture. But, we will understand it better by and by. I've read and heard all the evidence of Christmas and Easter being pagan in origin. While this may be true, look at what God has done with these holidays. These are the two times of the year more people think about-and give their lives to-Christ than any other. As it says, God works everything to the good of His perfect will. Besides, as it says in Romans 14:5-6,"One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it for the Lord, and he who eats, does so for the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and gives thanks to God." God is my Strength and Power, and He makes my way perfect!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

85 | Scandal of the Catholic Priesthood | Jude 1:4 | 2ndSamuel22 | 52639 | ||
Dear Jeshuafreak I understand and appreciate your passion on this issue. This scandal sheds a pall upon all Christians and Christianity. However, I believe we find one of the underlying causes is found in I Timothy 4:3-- "Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth."(KJV) Not to get into a discussion on Catholicism, but adults are sometimes like children: When you don't allow people to do something(priests having to be celibate) or eat something(no meat on Fridays during Lent), it makes us want it even more. That's why God made Eve for Adam, because "it is not good for man to be alone"(Genesis 2:18) But just as I would not want all Christians lumped in with these predators, I would not lump all Catholics in with them either. There are wheat and tares in almost every church. PS: You say "religion is nothing that benefits anyone". That is what has happened over the years. People have attached the word "religion" to any new kind of belief that comes along. Biblically speaking, however, "Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world."(James 1:27, NASB) When James wrote his epistle, religion was considered--by all--to be a good thing. But, as always, man has made a mockery out of it. Continue in praise, lifting up holy hands!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

dear Jeshuafreak, I hear ya. I too have been guilty lately of responding to the posts of some with maybe a bit more sarcasm than was necessary. Continue in praise, lifting up holy hands!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

87 | who is babylon rev 18 | Revelation | 2ndSamuel22 | 53530 | ||
Dear Hank, Ha, we meet again..:) I must admit, the weekend following 9/11, I read through the Book of the Revelation. My heart nearly stopped when I read chapter 18. I don't think it refers to NYC, but... 2 Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit... 9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, 13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. 14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19 ...weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. The world is made rich by the trade they do through NYC, and let's face it, it is home to all sorts of uncleanness. However, it isn't the Babylon of Revelation 18. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

88 | Who are these? | Rev 13:6 | 2ndSamuel22 | 45297 | ||
Mommapbs, I believe Antichrist will blaspheme the physical tabernacle, as well as heven itself. One prediction says that he will enter the Holy of Holies in the rebuilt Solomon's temple, thus blaspheming it. When you refer to my screen name, do you mean my internet screen name? If so, it refers to the four heavenly beasts who "never rest, crying 'Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come.'" So many people focus on the judgment aspect of Revelations, when it paints such a beautiful picture of heaven. God Bless |
