101 | Are you quite sure about that? | Eccl 11:6 | Ken hepting | 100157 | ||
I believe you both need to have a deeper understanding of what Paul was speaking of when using the word "edify". Here are some verses to ponder: Romans 14:19 (NASB-U) So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another. 1 Cor. 10:23 (NASB-U) All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. 1 Cor. 14:4 (NASB-U) One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church. 1 Thes. 5:11 (NASB-U) Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing. 1 Corth 14 is indespensable in the matter of edifying because there is where the mind of the Lord is generated within us. So when we read the scriptures it's like making deposits to our spiritual bank account which He draws upon at the appointed times in our lives. How's that except we have His mind and His word built up in us. It is not our mind and His word because the letter of the word 'can' kill but the Spirit of God brings life when the word is spoken from Him and it will be the word He desires you to speak because you have His Mind. Make sense? |

Point is, you don't believe based on "gut" feelings. With that in mind can't you see that alot of opinion is just that and when mixed with an agenda, becomes a dogma [doctrine?]? | ||||||

[But can you explain how building up one another helps us to know the mind of God. Is it by getting stronger that we get closer to God? And are you quite sure about that?] Quite contrary here. the closer you get to God the stronger you get. Philip. 2:5 (KJV) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:.........the man. What "mind" did He have? He had His Father's.. John 5:19 (NASB-U) Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. Now when Paul speaks this.... Romans 8:11 (NASB-U) "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you." We can see the possibilities if we apply ourselves to "becoming a son". Once we are saved and justified we [are called to] move on to sonhip by the possess of Sanctification and that by abandoning our lives [flesh] at the cross and walking away from them. Jesus did that...as a Son. If we consider ourselves sons and daughters, should we expect less as a requirement from OUR Father. |

[If I had to "keep" my salvation through works. I would mess that up soo bad. Praise God I don't.] Salvation isn't the issue after you are saved. Becoming a son, is. Entering into the kingdom of God to be Sanctified and made into a "friend" of Christ is a calling few hear. Few are taught that that is what Jesus came to show us aside from His paying the penalty for our sin [s] thus clearing the way for entering into His kingdom. Do a Biblical search on the Kingdom of God and see what comes up. Be open. |

106 | Are you quite sure about that? | Eccl 11:6 | Ken hepting | 100196 | ||
I understand what do you are driving at. My reasoning has to do with Jesus, as a man, being tested...Not unlike Job to some extent and certainly not unlike Adam who failed. If He is our example then it stands to reason we will encounter much the same kind of testing that we be approved unto God, faithful true and able trusted. When we fail at that endeavor we have an advocate with the Father who contunually makes intercession for us in our behalf. If it can be seen in that light you will experience joy and not sorrow when things seem to go wrong in life. A learning proccess to be sure. 1 John 5:4 (NASB-U) For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Faith carries with it JOY. |

[Do you think that seeking that type of relationship would help us to more clearly discern the will of God? Is it that we need to have a closer walk with him?] I thank you for your kind remarks and yes to your question because it is the will of God that you become. He wants genuine sons and daughters to share His kingdom and not a bunch kids who need to be bottle fed ...continually. Have ever heard of Oswald Chambers? He's the author of "My Utmost for His Highest", the most popular daily devotional read today? Here's an excerpt: http://www.myutmost.org/index.html AFTER OBEDIENCE - WHAT? And straightway He constrained His disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side. . . ." Mark 6:45-52 We are apt to imagine that if Jesus Christ constrains us, and we obey Him, He will lead us to great success. We must never put our dreams of success as God's purpose for us; His purpose may be exactly the opposite. We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal; He is not. The question of getting to a particular end is a mere incident. What we call the process, God calls the end. What is my dream of God's purpose? His purpose is that I depend on Him and on His power now. If I can stay in the middle of the turmoil calm and unperplexed, that is the end of the purpose of God. God is not working towards a particular finish; His end is the process - that I see Him walking on the waves, no shore in sight, no success, no goal, just the absolute certainty that it is all right because I see Him walking on the sea. It is the process, not the end, which is glorifying to God. God's training is for now, not presently. His purpose is for this minute, not for something in the future. We have nothing to do with the afterwards of obedience; we get wrong when we think of the afterwards. What men call training and preparation, God calls the end. God's end is to enable me to see that He can walk on the chaos of my life just now. If we have a further end in view, we do not pay sufficient attention to the immediate present: if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment as it comes is precious. Hope this helps. |

109 | Stripping the Bible of Virgin | Is 7:14 | Ken hepting | 93850 | ||
I would say that the writers of the Gospels were also familiar with what the word "almah" meant and how it was beening used by Isaiah. Ergo, "virgin" was what they wrote. Luke 1:34 (KJV) Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I KNOW NOT A MAN? What do you think Mary meant be that? |

110 | Stripping the Bible of Virgin | Is 7:14 | Ken hepting | 93881 | ||
I don't meant o be nit-picky but I wouldn't have a problem with it..and don't because, as I stated, the writers of the Gospels didn't have the problem. They understood "almah" to mean more than just "young maiden". Obviously the word must mean more than "young maiden" because of Mary's virginity, no? Stripping virginity from "almah" is an attempt to strip away the virgin birth. Critics do that sort of thing. | ||||||
111 | What is the Hebrew word for "Know?' | Jer 31:34 | Ken hepting | 91456 | ||
"To know" is to have intimate knowledge of, as in intercourse. Gen 38.26 Judah recognized them and said, "She is more righteous than I, since I wouldn't give her to my son Shelah." And he did not sleep with her again...NIV 26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more....KJV |

Very Good. But it only applies to those who reside in His Kingdom learning to become 'son's brought into Glory'. Otherwise if God healed because we pray, with no regard to our "becoming" it would be an indorsement/condoning of our unrectified conduct/soul, thus damning us to a Spiritual death. A very permanent action. The physical being only a temporary one. Ken Hepting |

Oh Boy, where to begin? Agreement? Between who? The disodedient with the obedient? How about disobedient with the disobedient? Of course you don't know who is and who isn't. First lets be clear about Satan and what he can and cannot do then you might want to re-examine what you saw as healings. Understand, I believe in devine healing. I am from Pentecostal persuasion. Satan can't heal. Satan, with God's permission, can afflict. He can also lift the affliction when people pray thus making it seem a healing from God. God also, in some cases, heals when the name of Jesus is invoked. He is honoring His Son's name regardless of the condition of faith of those who prayed. But that is His good pleasure to do so when He sees fit and not because of anything on our part. In Matthew 7 it says what: V22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never 'knew' you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 'Knowing' you/me in this case equates with intimacy. To know Him is to have His mind. If I came to you for healing and we both agreed for it do you think I should receive my healing if I am secretly living in adultery? If not, why not? We agreed didn't we? Perhaps the whole church was in agreement for that matter. Ok, lets assume God does heal me. What does that say to my mind/heart concerning my adulterous behavior and relationship to God? Now lets go beyond that to assume the whole church finds out about my adulterous behavior. Where does that leave them with God concerning their own untoward behavior? No, sorry, can't agree with your explanation of "unconditional" agreement. The examples you posit aren't valid either. Both were before Jesus and the cross and both from a different functioning of the Holy Spirit. If you are going to use Naaman as an example why use use Elisha? How about the floating axe head miracle? Seen any of that kind of thing lately? And the woman who needed healing but wasn't a Jew? How about the one who was who had an issue of blood for twelve years. She came to Jesus and He healed her. Her faith was no greater than the Syrophenician woman, was it? Why then should Jesus not heal them both? Both happenings were before the cross. Point is those healings had to do with a display by Jesus of the wonders and Glory of the kingdom of God Jesus spent 3 1/2 years explaining. "If you ask anything in my name you will have it". Really? Does He mean all we have to do is agree OR reside -abide in Him- in His Kingdom? At the center of Christianity is perfection and that by a discipline of the soul made possible by the healing of our spirit by Jesus' vicarious death that gives access for the Holy Spirit to quicken our mortal bodies but only as the Father sees fit to do so for His purposes and that Jesus Christ be glorified. Our responsibilty in the matter is to handle properly what God trusts us with, no matter what it is and it doesn't seem to be much, these days. Having His Mind in our daily lives is what that is all about. 2 Tim 4.2 "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine." Long suffering can come in may flavors, I'm afraid. But keep your face washed at all times. |

Sure, why not. Nothing we've said has done injury to the other. There will be times when we reflect back on words spoken that they may be helpful when in a quandry and need an answer.. I'd like to think I've given good Biblical reasoning that will challenge you to go deeper to see the kingdom and come away from subordinate issues that only clog up the works. There's much I see differently having seen it and understand what the "Pearl of great price" is. Believe me, I never knew and had no idea....and there hasn't been much fellowship around since. Do you read Oswald Chambers? |

Be encouraged, Brad, by your thinking that all the signs and wonders we May see are but subordinate issues to the one main one of becoming a son well pleasing in Father's eyes. You are saved by the blood of the Lamb now He says "If any *saved man will follow after me...." "If" being the operative word for you and I. see Heb. 2.10 where it says: "For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings." The whole world anxiously waits for this Spiritual condition from us. *- emphasis mine |
