41 | how do tend to treatment like, judges 11 | Judges | serenetime | 52420 | ||
EVANGELISM DREW, I understand your pain in this. In Judges 11, how does this pertain to your situation specifically? Your son needs support from the church that you are involved in. What bugs me is that a church, meaning people in the church that are in a ministry specifically with certain individuals including children should be prepared to deal with children like yours. It just goes to show that churches aren't prepared by God for this. It is so sad. SERENETIME |

42 | Who was the larges giant in the bible? | 1 Sam 17:4 | serenetime | 54791 | ||
Gen 3:1 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? KJV Like Edgar Allan Poe, The taming of the shrew, that appears to be the smallest of mammals, but is the most vicious of them all. Just like Satan which emcompasses the whole world through desolation and depravity and like the shrew, which is the greater? Goliath aint nothing to contend with. Goliath is just a stonehenge. Today we have much bigger giants to slay. Are you shrewed enough to stone one? Serenetime |

44 | why did jesus speak in parables ? | Ps 78:2 | serenetime | 26944 | ||
Anonymous, Everyones answers have been very good, but I just wanted to add a little to what I've read here. Yes, in Matt. 13 Jesus is speaking in a parable regarding a sower who went forth to sow, verses 1-9, notice that Jesus says in verse 9, Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. He's pointing out that who here has the ears to really hear what I'm saying to you. Doesn't faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.It's not just the normal hearing, but truly percieving what is being said and understanding. Then in verse 10, And the disciples came, and said unto Him, "Why speakest thou unto them in parables?" Then in verse 11 he says, He answered and said unto them, "Because it is given unto you (to know) the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but unto them it is not given. I put an enficies on to know, because Jesus says on judgement day, go ye workers of iniquity, I knew you not. the KNOWING is so imperitive, trust me. Verse 12, For whosoever hath, ( I'm adding (ears to hear)to him shall be given (remember v 11 here), and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, (ears to hear and know) from him shall be taken away even that he hath. This has to be with your HEART. Verse 13, Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing SEE NOT; and hearing they HEAR NOT, neither do they UNDERSTAND. Verse 14, And IN them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not percieve. Verse 15 For this people's HEART is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should UNDERSTAND with their HEART, and should be converted, and I should heal them. This parable goes with Romans 11, read it all. I'm telling you when your eyes begin to open and you truly see, you continue to see more and more and more and more, and hear more and more and deeper and deeper understanding. The rest of the chapter continues to help you to see the meaning of this parable. It is so deep. But then he explains the parable to his disciples after sending the multitude away. isn't that interesting. Then in verse 35 he quotes prophecy from Ps. 78:2 I truly stand by that you can't truly understand the new testament without knowing the old testament. Jesus backs me up in verse 35 (I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world). SO POWERFUL I truly hope I have helped you to see and understand why he spoke in parables. The Father's Word is AWESOME above AWESOME. Keep reading and studying and praying for eyes that truly see and ears that truly HEAR. Thank you Anonymous because by me helping you to see and hear I Saw and Heard something I have never Saw or Heard with greater understanding as ever before. I was truly BLESSED above measure.

Hi to All, Soloman says in Prov.14:33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding; But that which is in the midst of fools is made known. Thanks seanster for your question. Let us never forget that Soloman was still just a man, and that God's wisdom is acquired, but that Soloman knew that he would have to seek Wisdom daily. Serenetime | ||||||
46 | Is satan a spirit? | Ezek 28:14 | serenetime | 26547 | ||
SRN, I do agree that the word Satan means like an obstacle. I did say opponent, Adversary. But I don't agree that Satan himself lives in men, maybe the spirit of Satan lives in some men. I know he doesn't live in me nor his spirit. I'm not trying to make him out to be a mythological entity as you say. I was just putting down the translation of the word, and trying to be of help to mincc. Take Care, In Love, Serenetime | ||||||

SRN, I do agree that their are some christians that give the devil way too much credit. I don't think that he can have as much power over anyone, but when you are totally focused on this it can take over. As for conspiracy theories, I would like to know your thoughts. In Love, Serenetime | ||||||
48 | What scripture talks about alcohol | Hab 2:5 | serenetime | 23991 | ||
Nolan, I'm confused with your answer. I need your help. Jesus's first miracle was in John 2:1-10. Jesus comes to this wedding. It says that there were six waterpots which held 2 to 3 firkens per pot of water. After filling them to the brim, Jesus says to draw them out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. When the ruler of the feast tasted the water that was made into wine he knew not whence it was: but the servants that drew the water knew. When the governor of the feast called the bridgroom, he said unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. I don't understand, but from what the governor says, that everyone at this wedding are already drunk. Jesus is bringing the best wine last, so because everyone is already drunk, wont they be gusling this wine when they shouldn't be drinking at all according to my understanding of your answer. I don't want to misunderstand. I would appreciate your imput. In the Father's Love, Serenetime | ||||||
49 | What scripture talks about alcohol | Hab 2:5 | serenetime | 24084 | ||
Nolan, Hi again. Pertaining to your last note to me. I wanted to show you why I was confused. That in Prov. 23:29-35, and in Hab. 2:5, Joel 1:5, Hosea 4:18, Jeremiah 13:12-14, which you gave as an answers for drinking alcohol being a sin to B. Burnette that from my understanding of these verses that they pertain to the cup of wrath prophesized of the coming of King Nebachadnezzar, and is an example of how the people would not listen and believe his coming. He as you know is a type of antichrist. Because they would not hear the truth he would send them a strong delusion (cup of wrath). Just like I believe it shows in the book of Revelations of the coming Antichrist, which will also send a strong delusion (cup of wrath),to believe a lie. In Rev. 14:8, And there followed another angel saying, Babylon has fallen, is fallen, that great city because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. In Ezek.44:21 which you also gave as an example, it says Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court. This is for the priests only. As far as the original question goes, a clear interpretation for me to see is to use Eph.5:18 it says,And be not drunk with wine wherein in excess; but be filled with the Spirit. In Deut 29:6 This a good example of not drinking wine or strong drink. They were on a type of probation. It says, You have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD you God. In Ruth 3:7 it says And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she (Ruth) came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down. This is a great example of being seduced. What it comes down to is that like anything we should not drink too much, and keep our faculties in tact. So we can remain safe for ourselves and others. There are many other verses having to do with drinking. Drinking alcohol to an excess is a sin as you can see, because you can hurt yourself and other's who are innocent. But it is also a sin to tell someone they cannot drink wine at all, because Jesus brought it as a wedding gift. Thanks for your time, and if there is any other verses that you feel can clarify this better, it would be a benefit to all. IN the Father's Love, Serenetime | ||||||
50 | "Herodians" who were they? | Matt 22:16 | serenetime | 21506 | ||
Hi to All, the word Herodians translating it back to the Greek,They were partisans of Herod, they were heroic fighters, but most of all they had eyes to not only see, but know who Jesus really was, they discerned clearly. Serenetime | ||||||
51 | "Herodians" who were they? | Matt 22:16 | serenetime | 21508 | ||
One more note, Because the Herodians were partisan, meaning they strongly supported one side, it's interesting in the verse that they say to Jesus, that you defer no one, and are not partial to any. That is so cool. Serenetime | ||||||

54 | The Forum -- Your Opinion? | Romans | serenetime | 30669 | ||
Hi farout, Yes, their have been many that have touched base with this forum, and like they said previously, some have come and gone, and some have stayed to interact, but I feel that it is so important that we all have an open mind with each other regarding interpretation of scripture. I have experienced some whom that if your interpretation is opposing to some, then it's like an all out war. We may not all agree, but at least if you claim something in the word, then I believe that it can be proven in scripture without all the outside opinions of comentaries and "Oh this is what my Pastor says". Because lets face it, man is not always correct in some cases. I agree that we need to be more spiritual in the way we interact with others, and I am very glad you're here.

55 | Ten Commandments obsolete? | Rom 10:4 | serenetime | 28653 | ||
Hi, I agree with Prestor John. Yes they have become obsolete only by MAN'S doing. Yes, Jesus says he came to fulfill the law, but Jesus stresses (TRULY) in Matt. 5:18, For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. I think that some may get confused with the statutes and ordinances which were given by the Levitical priesthood. The Ten commandments are divinely given by our Father in heaven. One example regarding the ordinances and statutes and how God really feels about them, is in Jer.7:21-24. In verse 22, it says, I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices. verse 23, But this thing commanded I them, saying Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. verse 24, But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels, and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. It is clear that they didn't seek the guidance by our Father. The world feels they don't need him, or his Commandments of LOVE. This, Israel did often and look what happened many times by not Obeying God. But went straight to man, and it is still happening to some Christians and Israel today. And otherwise the world has completely forgotten God all together. They took the commandments out of the schools and off the courtroom walls. And took prayer out of the schools in the 1960's. So it's no wonder why. No where does it ever say in the word, Hey just throw them old things away, but if you just look around today, the women that are being raped and abused. Women have not won a case in public view. One of our supreme court judges of today Say, TAKE THOSE TEN COMMANDMENTS OFF THE WALL. After all, it was just a little pubic hair on your coke can, what's the problem? What does it matter now, I'm a supreme justice. What does it matter what she thinks at all. Our great black american women DISGRACED. Tell me there's justice at all. Ask Bill Clinton when he was still governor of Arkansas what his favorite song was, Me and Mrs.Jones. But it's behind me now, I play the saxophone. I always wanted to do a duet in the white house. You know her name, she's not no har-monica. A disgrace to ALL women. A disgrace to two men who swore upon the Bible to uphold all the rights of our citizens equally. Musicians sing about the degregation of women. The song about having an affair with a married woman, and is still a favorite today. But it says in Deuteronomy, Gather the family together and judge the rapist and send them back to me saith God to be JUDGED. Likewise also the murderer, and if we don't do these things that he has commanded us to do. That it will run rampant in the last days. Just look around. Now I ask you a question, and go out and ask as many as you can, for you to see, What is the greatest commandment of all? would be pleased to hear your answer, and survey says, Not too many at all.

56 | Why "servant"? | Rom 16:1 | serenetime | 26561 | ||
stobor, The translation I get in the original greek is #1249 is diakonos like you said, but it is translated as follows, to run on errands, an attendant, teacher and pastor. Technically a deacon or deaconess, minister, servant. So Pheobe was an attendant and teacher and helper to God's people in the church, and Paul commends her for it. Also in Mark 15:41 it says starting at verse 40, There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; 41 (Who also, when He was in Galilee, followed Him, and ministered unto Him;) and many other women which came up with Him unto Jerusalem. Here the word is minister #1247 diakoneo, It's comes from #1249, to be an attendant, i.e. wait upon (menially or as a host, friend or [fig.] teacher); technically to act as a deacon: (ad) minister (unto), serve, use the office as a deacon. So hear the word minister is translated back to the same meaning. But they were minstering to Jesus. Very Interesting. Jesus says we are free, and not in bondage so we do this because we love him and we desire to serve and minister,help,the people of God. I hope this helps.

57 | Man, woman take on sins of each other | 1 Cor 6:16 | serenetime | 27711 | ||
Gretsch42, The Holy Spirit showed me that I had not yet completed my answer. So here I am. Speaking of committing adultery. In Jer.3:8 "And I saw when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery. I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also". God divorces Israel, it says that he gave a bill of divorce. They were committing adultery with other lovers as it says in Jer.3:1 and in verse 1, God is saying "yet return unto Me, saith the Lord" But by what you said, God at this time would of had to take upon himself all the sins of Israel, and no where in the Bible does it convey this that sin has become a part of his nature. God would have to take on Israel's sin and it would become his sin now and Israel would take on sin of the Father and it would be their sin also. But,in the Father there is no sin. So your statement above "But because God turns his back on them as a result of their sin, they each take on all the sins of each other" To convey the confusion of your statement compared to the Epistle of Phillipians 2:1-18, The whole chapter conveys the idea about standing alone, but the verse that conveys best to me is verse 11,"Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling". It also causes confusion to Rev.20:1-15,The whole chapter conveys standing alone. The verse that conveys best to me, where we should stand alone is Rev.20:11, "And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from Whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them". Jesus many, many years later took upon all the sins of the world when on the cross. But Jesus did not take on sin nature of each individual. John3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth on him will not perish, but have everlasting life. Without spot or blemish. But in Hosea 14:whole chapter, God takes Israel back and in his mercy and love for his "wife" he forgives and speaks lovingly toward her in tenderness. Just as a married couple, if one commits adultery with another, can the one spouse forgive in love and mercy and they be joined together again. Just like if we sin, we feel distant from the Father. But in asking for forgiveness, he lovingly forgives in his tender mercy and Love for us his children. And God remembers the sin no more. The sin no longer exists. No sin is greater than the other. Sin is Sin. This is how we know that it is not a mortal sin to divorce and remarry again. The Father himself divorced and was he himself reunited with Israel. I hope this has helped you. In the LOVE of the Father, Serenetime | ||||||

59 | wandering why the forth commandment is | Col 2:16 | serenetime | 31247 | ||
The ten commandements are not the same as statutes and ordinances. Statutes and Ordinances are man made and the Ten Commandments are God given. Jesus says that he didn't come to destroy the law (commandments) but to fulfil, Matt.5:17-19. He never said to do away with the commandments.Oh by the way, why wouldn't we need a rest!

60 | Women teaching or in authority | 1 Timothy | serenetime | 21567 | ||
Tim, I worded that wrong. I know it's the inspired word, but like you said many differences of opinion. I feel like sometimes paul also gets where he is more speaking of the statutes and ordinances more than the law. Women sometime get suppressed because of the differences of that interpretation. And because it is the inspired word of God, then it's there to see. It's difficult especially when I am always being told that women have their roles in the church, but it's not of any of high importance of teaching the word of God, but when I was going to a church years ago. Two evangelists came to visit our church. The woman evangelist had to sit in the pew while the male evangelist got sit up in the pulpit. I feel women could be a real strength and power for God and Iesous in strengthening the people of God, and spreading the Word. Jesus had the highest respect for them. I believ it's wife, because it does say that elsewhere where it's translated wife. Thanks for you help. serenetime | ||||||
