861 | SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH | 2 Tim 2:25 | lionheart | 155998 | ||
Kalos, Well said my brother. 2 Peter 1:20,21 makes the last part of your posting quite clear.God will give us plenty of insight but will not go beyond or contradict what He has already revealed in His Word.It's imperitve that we let Gods Word to speak for itself and trust God to shed the needed light so that we can see and understand. God bless you Brother, lionheart |

862 | SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH | 2 Tim 2:25 | lionheart | 155989 | ||
Dear sister, My way,Kalos way, anyone elses way amounts to less than nothing if doesnt line up with what Gods Word says.Amen salvation is whats important,Christ being preached vital! However how will one know whats being shared with them if they have no roots in Gods Word.Feelings and ones experience are no gaurantee for truth.The only truth we have that we can count on every time is the Word of God. 2 Timothy 2:15, 3:15,16,17, Acts 17:11 These are cornerstone verses,especially when we share our faith. In Christ, lionheart |

Hey Doc, Greetings my brother.I thought I'd share a few things here as I've spent the last hour or so going over some of the same things with a close friend. This is an issue that can be very emotionally charged.I will not deny ones experience,however we gotta make sure that what we experience,what we are seeing falls within confines of Gods Word. We have a habit of focusing on one thing and we wind up getting spanked. Heb 3:13, 5:12-14 God wants us strong,He wants us mature. We have to be willing when we see something in our daily lives that may or may not fall into the paremeters of The Word to do what ever it takes to be in line with Gods Word.If that means we gotta change our beleiving to get in line with Gods Word then so be it. Love ya brother, lionheart. |

864 | Are silent protests scriptural? | 1 John 3:17 | lionheart | 155903 | ||
Good morning brother, While I will not condem demonstrating outside these clinics I wonder hoe effective it is.The best thing I would think would be reaching these individuals before they get to the clinic. May I just present this idea and it's not a new one. How about heeding Christ great commission of Matthew 28:18-20. Getting out sharing our faith will be the greatest weapon we have in addressing issues like this. When one enters into a right relationship with God we give people the best chance they will have in living this life. In Christ, lionheart |

865 | Jesus Christ has been ‘buddy-ized’ | 2 Tim 2:15 | lionheart | 155879 | ||
Brother Hank, You could not bore me even if you wanted to.Bro take heart,this should not shock us Jesus predicted it,Paul talks about in 2 Timothy 3. Trust me on this one Hank the world knows who we are.Sold out christians are not hard to notice or identify.And to those who are truly fighting to take a stand for God and his Word wont be hard to identify we will know and so will the rest of the world.You and I both know that belonging to a church doesnt make one part of the kingdom,it's belonging to the Church and that only comes to those who have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior of there lives.God has a way of drawing his people together during times of persecution and apathy. I'm truly blessed of God to be part of a fellowship where GOD is blowing the lid off of things here in Portland Oregon,and being part of this forum for the better part of this year is evidence of how God is working with and watching over his people.Know matter what challenges come my way I know God has my back right along with my brothers and sisters in Christ here in Portland and on the forum.I get up every day knowing for a certainty that I'got brothers and sisters that are swinging for me and I'm swinging for them as well.Hank you and the other brothers Doc,kalos, Ray,Mark,Tim and momaps my dearest sister have made a bigger impact on my life than you will ever know.If I left anyone out know that you are always in my heart also. When all is said and done God will be victorious and because of that so will his people. You are Gods best bro, lionheart |

866 | Who are "your opponents/" | Phil 1:28 | lionheart | 155711 | ||
Greetings dear sister, 2 Timothy 3:12 Infact,everyone who wants to live a godly life in christ Jesus will be persecuted. (NIV) I think there are a lot of individuals that expect that when one is saved all the problems go away.On the contrary,If we are committed to standing faithful we will face opposition. Jesus Said it would happen,so did Peter and Paul. Hebrews 12 tells us how God uses the challenges and discipline of this life to mold and strengthen our character. God oft times will make things or allow things to happen on our lives to draw us closer to him or to bring us back where we've gone astray. I had this discussion with a sister last night. People will walk away from God and all will seem better for awhile but it wont stay that way for long,they will wind up more discouraged and frustrated than before. The devil may not be meessing with them (it may seem that way.) he has no reason to he's already got them. But I will gaurantee that for those who are sold out to God and committed to making a difference there will be opposition,there wll be persecution. But we can be joyful no matter whats going on around us.Our joy and confidence are not dependent on circumstances. God bless you, lionheart |

867 | At what moment do we go to heaven? | Eccl 12:7 | lionheart | 155710 | ||
Greetings my brother, After reading your post I just had throw in my two cents worth. I've been blessed to be part of this forum for a little over eight months now and I am so gratefull to God for these past eight months.I've built friendships that I otherwise wouldnt have. God wants his family and thats what we are to be close. The forum has helped do this for me. For all of those who have questions about there walk with God or about what it takes to be rite with God. This is a good place to be. Give it a shot and have faith in God,I dont think you will be disappointed. In Christ, lionheart |

868 | Please Clarify. | 1 John 5:7 | lionheart | 154373 | ||
Even I can be senile at times.Of course I do believe that.I might qualify it with this statement. WE wont or cant obey something that we beleive in. The two go hand in hand.We cant have one without the other. Thanx lionheart |

869 | explain Deut 6:4 | John 3:13 | lionheart | 154326 | ||
Good day Bows44, In many of the references in the Old Testament the hebrew word for God is elohim- Uniplural triune God,One God manifest in three persons. This is a pretty basic paraphrase on my part,but in my days as a babe in Christ it made it much simpler to explain things to those who didn't understand or just had questions for arguments sake. In Christ, lionheart |

870 | Need an answer please! | Rom 8:29 | lionheart | 153839 | ||
Brother,brother,brother In Philippians 2:12 Paul tells us to work out our salvation with trembling and fear.The verses you shared in your post were part of one of the first studies I did after I was saved. The passage out of 2 Peter 1 have been instrumental in my walk with God. A truly outstanding post my brother. Right on the button. In Christ, lionheart |

871 | Conformed to scripture or Christ? | Rom 8:29 | lionheart | 153806 | ||
Dear Aixen7z4, Brother I can relate to what your saying here. Some times we really complicate things that God has made so simple. I'll list a few scriptures here in the hope it makes things a little clearer for those who may be having a hard time with this issue. Romans 10:14-20,2 Timothy 2:15,3:16, 2 Peter 1:20,21, Psalm 119:11. God and his Word go hand in hand.I dont see that one will have one without the other. The bible embodies who God and his Son Jesus Christ are. Without the Scriptures would any of us have what we have with God today? How would we know? How can one love God and not love his Word and how can one claim to truly love His Word and not love Him? God and his Word are inexolerably conected.His Word is a big part of what made God known to all of us.We do God an injustice when we discount any part of this issue. Lets keep it simple because it is.We make it complicated,but we dont have to. In Christ, lionheart |

I kind of figured you knew. There are some of us that dont know as well as we should. So it's times like these that are very educational as well as encouraging. Always your Brother, lionheart |

874 | Why did God test Adam and Eve ? | Genesis | lionheart | 153525 | ||
Dear Beseder, Happy freedom day and Gods blessings to you and welcome to the forum. Matthew 5:17-20 For space sake I will just refer to verse 17 of Matthew five. VS 17- Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets:I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them(NIV).Read the rest of the passage refered to above,it carries a lot of weight.Romans 15:4 2 Peter 1:21 2 Timothy 3:16,17 It's all Gods Word from Genesis to Revelation. We can ill afford to neglect or negate any part of it. I recently heard this coment and it just blew me away. It wasnt like it wasnt something I was not aware of,oft times we ignore things that are the most obvious. But a friend of mine made this statement- The Old Testament is the physical manifestation of the spiritual truths taught in the New Testament.God has given us a gold mine.Why not tap into all of it's riches and resources. Thats what God wants us to do,thats what we must do if we are to lead the lives as the men and women of God He has called us to be. Your brother in Christ, lionheart |

875 | 2JOHN 9,10 | Eph 4:20 | lionheart | 153462 | ||
One more note here.Many young christians have the impression that with the advent of Jesus Christ that the law went away. Not so.Jesus himself stated clearly that he came to fulfill the law not to abolish it.The one thing that went away was the need for animal sacrifice. IN2Jesus check out Romans 15:4 This will help you make more sense of things. In Christ, lionheart |

877 | What is the AKJV? | 1 John 5:7 | lionheart | 153070 | ||
Samantha, Dear sister this is not about judgement.It is about helping people get to heaven.If we really love someone then we gotta be willing to ask the hard questions.Jesus did and he wasnt being critical or judgemental.He called people to a godly standard and we should do no less.The plan of salvation is simple,that doesnt mean easy.When I was saved that was the most intense time of my life.Hard questions were asked,they had to be asked.These were brothers who were trying to help me make it to heaven.They loved me enough to ask those questions and I'm glad.The key in helping people is doing it out of love.Gotta have a 1 Corinthians 13 heart. If we do things out of the love of God we will be much less likely to be setting in judgement of people. As brothers and sisters in Christ we should be calling oneanother to the standard of Gods Word.So dear sister it is not about judgement it is about helping people make it to heaven and encouraging each other in our daily walks with God.Read 1 Corinthians 13 and check out 1 Timothy 4:16. Your brother in Christ, lionheart |

Samantha, Welcome to the forum. 1 Timothy 4:15,16 (NIV) 15 Be diligent in these matters;give youself wholly to them,so that everyone may see your progress. 16 Wat ch your life and doctrine closely.Persevere in them,because if you do,you will save both yourself and your hearers. When those who profess to be disciples of Jesus Christ will evidence a changed life. When we veiw things in the light of Gods Word then we wont be setting ourselves up to be judges of other peoples lives, we will be more likely to make right observations though. Tell me what one believes when it comes to Jesus Christ and I will tell you where that individual is headed. John deals quite effectively with this subject in his First epistle. In Christ, lionheart |
