3	PRAISE IS WHAT I DO	Phil 4:4	Jeshuafreak	55269
	"Rejoice in the Lord alway" Philippians 4:4 ***A.W. Pink** http://grace-for-today.com/637.htm Why should I, who am by nature no different from the careless and godless throngs all around, have been chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world and now blest with all spiritual blessings in the heavenlies in Him? Why was I, that once was an alien and a rebel, signaled out for such wondrous favors? Ah, that is something I cannot fathom. Such grace, such love, "passeth knowledge." But if my mind is unable to discern a reason, my heart can express its gratitude in praise and adoration. But not only should I be grateful to God for His grace toward me in the past, His present dealings will fill me with thanksgivings. What is the force of that word "Rejoice in the Lord alway" (Phil. 4:4)? Mark it is not "Rejoice in the Saviour", but we are to "Rejoice in the Lord", as "Lord", As THE MASTER OF EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE. Need we remind the reader that when the apostle penned these words he was himself a prisoner in the hands of the Roman government. A long course of affliction and suffering lay behind him. Perils on land and perils on sea, hunger and thirst, scourging and stoning, had all been experienced. He had been persecuted by those within the church as well as by those without: the very ones who ought to have stood by him had forsaken him. And still he writes, "Rejoice in the Lord alway" What was the secret of his peace and happiness? Ah! had not this same apostle written, "And we know that all things work tegether for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose" (Rom. 8:28)? But how did he, and how do we, "know", that all things work together for good? The answer is, Because all things are under the control of and are being regulated by the Supreme Sovereign, and because He has naught but thoughts of love toward His own, then "all things are so ordered by Him that they are MADE TO MINISTER TO OUR ULTIMATE GOOD. It is for this cause we are to give "thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ" (Eph. 5:20). Yes, give thanks for "all things" for, as it has been well said "Our disappointments are but His appointments." To the one who delights in the sovereignty of God the clouds not only have a 'silver lining' but they are silvern all through, the darkness only serving to offset the light!
4	scriptual references for Ezekiel 14:14	Ezek 14:14	Jeshuafreak	55267
	John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible ** Ezekiel 14:14 * http://www.gospelcom.net/eword/comments/ezekiel/gill/ezekiel14.htm **** Verse 14. Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it,.... In the sinning land, and made intercession for it, that the famine might be removed, and the inhabitants of it be saved alive, this would not be granted; though they were men that found favour in the sight of God, and were eminent for prayer, and successful in it, and the means of saving many; as Noah his family, by preparing an ark according to the will of God; and Daniel was an instrument of saving the lives of his companions, and of the wise men of Chaldea; and Job, by his prayer for his friends, prevented the wrath of God, that was kindled against them, coming upon them; and yet, if they had been upon the spot at this time, their intercession for this people would have been of no avail; the decree was gone forth, and was not to be called in; it was unalterable, and God was inexorable: nor could it have been depended upon, if this declaration had not been made, that their prayers would have been effectual, had they been upon the spot, and put them up for this nation; since it might be observed, that the old world was not saved from a deluge in Noah's time, only he and his family; nor were the people of the Jews preserved from captivity in Daniel's time, nor even he himself; nor were Job's children saved, though he was greatly concerned for them: it may be observed from hence, that there was such a man as Job, as well as Noah and Daniel; and that the latter, though a young man, not above thirty years of age, at this time, yet was become very famous, not only for his dignity and grandeur in Babylon, but for his religion and piety; and is placed between those two great men, Noah and Job; and being a person now living, precludes any argument being formed by the Papists, in favour of the intercession of departed saints; and which would not be conclusive from such a supposition as here made, had they been all such as had departed this life; see Jeremiah 15:1; the design of the whole is only to show that the prayers of the best of men would not have prevailed with the Lord to avert his judgments from a people that had so grievously sinned against him: they should deliver [but] their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord; as Noah was saved at the time of the flood; Daniel in the captivity; and Job midst his great afflictions: this is to be understood not of the eternal salvation of the souls of these men, which is not, nor can it be, by works of righteousness done by the best of men; by these men cannot be justified in the sight of God, and so not saved; but of temporal salvation, of the salvation of their souls or lives from temporal calamities. Besides, these men had knowledge of another and better righteousness than their own, and believed in it, and trusted to it, even the righteousness of faith, the righteousness of Christ received by faith Noah was both an heir and a preacher of the righteousness which is by faith; and Daniel knew that it was one branch of the Messiah's work to bring in everlasting righteousness; and Job was fully persuaded that his Redeemer lived, by whom he should be justified, Hebrews 11:7.

	** And the New Testament**Revelation 21 11It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west.

12	What is the right amount to tithe.	OT general	Jeshuafreak	54481
	To tithe or not to tithe.... whether on gross or net..... sadly this is not the question... We are to give to God our all....and all means all...Everything is His first and foremost...it is only because of Him that we are able to work..it is He that gives us strength, breath, and heartbeat... So don't you think it is quite trivial to get into a discussion that asks .."What can we get by on giving to God?" If you really want to please God stop being a legalistic modern day prarisee and start giving everything to God... your entire life is in His hands.. why do you foolishly keep presuming your life is your own to do what you want...Your life is a gift from God what you do with your life...the way we spend our Time our Talent and our Treasures is our gift to Him.....Are you going to let the enemy of our souls rob us of the joy gained from a close personal intimate relationship with Christ****as I write this I am reminded by the Holy Spirit that I should be paying attention to what I am writing... because it is written to me as well....neat how that works. I LOVE YOU ALL AND GOD LOVES YOU TOO....STOP THE MADNESS!!!!...QUIT BEING LEGALISTIC AND SELF RIGHTEOUS!! Strive for closeness with the Lord and Creator of the universe, Savior and King. INSTEAD OF INTELLECTUAL SUPPIORITY OVER YOUR BRETHREN****THIS DOESN"T BUILD UP IT ONLY TEARS DOWN..... Trust me I have been there and the Lord is bringing me out of that dessert of SIN....yes it is sin. Tithe is not the issue YOUR HEART IS... WERE YOUR TREASURE IS THERE YOUR HEART WILL BE ALSO!!!! Look through your checkbook to see whether you are setting your sites on things eternal or temporal.....YES WE ALL MUST PAY FOR LIVING EXPENSES...don't you think your Father knows that? The least we could do is give back to Him out of the first fruits of our lives...NOT JUST OUR PAYCHECKS....

	1 Corinthians 10 12So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! 13No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. Idol Feasts and the Lord's Supper 14Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry
14	Why the Old Testament?	Ex 20:10	Jeshuafreak	53704
	Galatians 3 23But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
15	rock foundation	Matt 7:24	Jeshuafreak	53573
	John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible http://www.gospelcom.net/eword/comments/matthew/gill/matthew7.htm ***Matthew 7 Verse 24. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine,.... The comparison in this, and the following verses, is the concluding part of our Lord's discourses upon the mount, which are meant by these sayings, or doctrines, he here speaks of; and as he had in some foregoing verses chiefly respect to preachers, so here, to hearers, his disciples and followers in general. The subject of this comparison, in Luke 6:47 is, "whosoever cometh unto me"; as all that are given to Christ by the Father will do, sooner or later: such whom he encourages to come to him, are they that labour and are heavy laden; and they that come aright, come as poor perishing sinners; they believe in him, give up themselves to him, to be saved by him with an everlasting salvation; all which is owing to efficacious grace. These hear his sayings, as doctrines, not merely externally, but internally, having ears to hear given unto them, so as to understand them, love them, believe them, feel the power, taste the sweetness, and have a delightful relish of them; and such an one hears them, and doth them: he is not only an hearer, but a doer of the word of the Gospel; the doctrines of it he receives in the love of them, and exercises faith on them; upon Christ, his grace and righteousness held forth in them, which is the great work and business of a Christian, he is to do, and does do in this life: the ordinances of it he cheerfully obeys; and all the duties of religion he performs from love to Christ, without any view to obtain eternal life hereby, which he only expects from Christ, as his sayings and doctrines direct him. The comparison follows, I will liken him to a wise man, which built his house upon a rock. Luke says, "he is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation a rock." Every believer is a builder; the house he builds, is his own soul, and the salvation of it; in order to which he digs deep, till he comes to a rock, to a good foundation; he searches diligently into the Scriptures of truth; he constantly attends the ministry of the word; he inquires of Gospel preachers, and other saints, the way of salvation; which having found, he lays the whole stress of his salvation on the rock of ages, which rock is Christ: he makes him the foundation of all his hopes of eternal life and happiness; which is the foundation God has laid in Zion; and which has been laid ministerially by the prophets of the Old, and the apostles of the New Testament; and by believers themselves, when they build their faith and hope upon it. This foundation, the person, blood, and righteousness of Christ, is as a rock, firm and strong, will bear the whole weight that is laid upon it; it is sure and certain, it will never give way; it is immoveable and everlasting; the house built upon it stands safe and sure.
16	jehovah witnes think jesus was prophet	2 Pet 2:1	Jeshuafreak	53536
	2 Peter 2 False Teachers and Their Destruction 1But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. *** http://www.watchman.org/cat95.htm ----All you will want to know about cults and false religions go to the Watchman expositer. p.s. Try and study the original so you are not fooled by the counterfeit. The scripture is the truth and there are very good books that expound upon the Truth. Test all things in light of scripture.
17	DO NOT BE YOKED WITH UNBELIEVERS....	2 Cor 6:14	Jeshuafreak	53502
	Dear Heaven- I have been where you are at minus the child. I was married to a woman who seemed to love God but in the course of marriage we ended up having a miscarriage. This pushed me closer to the Lord and pushed her away. My analysis of the situation is that neither my ex-wife or your boyfriend ever truelly walked with the Lord. They only confessed with their lips but didn't truely believe in their heart. Once you taste the truth you can never go back to swallowing the lie. If one truelly is saved they can never lose their salvation. Trust me I know first hand I tried to walk away and I knew better, but here I am struggling it out one day at a time. I know without a doubt that I am saved and that jesus Christ has me in the cnter of the palm of His hand and no one or nothing can get me out. I echo another you must get yourself and child into a healthy well balanced church. There are godly councelors there. Don't stop praying for your boyfriend's salvation. God bless you Heaven and take care.-Jeshuafreak
18	Has anyone noticed?	Bible general Archive 1	Jeshuafreak	53476
	2nd Samuel 22 - I demand that you call Him Joshua!! Just kidding...but that is what we would call Him if He was growing up on our block in rural or suburban america. His name means the "the Lord is salvation"or "the Lord saves" , which is kind of funny if you think about it. When we say Jesus saves, we are being redundant. My real name is Joshua and I could call myself Jesus if I was Hispanic. Actually I saw a Spanish Bible and it had the book of Joshua spelled Josue', pronounced hoe-sway. You know it doesn't matter though as long as youo know you are talking about Jesus Christ the omnipotent eternal Apha and Omega Lord of lords King of kings forever exalted...He is exalted, the King is exalted on High and I will praise His name.... if I had no toungue in which to speak His name I would still praise His name. How bout the old testament saints that didn't know His name? They still praised His name... the One Who had no name. The one who was just a tetragram. YHWH... Someday we will speak His proper name in glory. What is truely important is the meaning behind the name. Are you a true Christian? If so who is Jesus , Y'Shua, Yeshua, Jeshua, Joshua, Josue' to you. I assure you He is God. He was and is the God-man. He is not spirit brother to Lucifer as the JW's assert. He is not anything less than who He is He is the great I AM.. Sorry bout my ramblings and I will catch you all later.- Jeshuafreak ------ P.S. Jesusfreak was taken when I adopted this name, in case yooue wondered
19	Christ enterng in to hell	1 Peter	Jeshuafreak	53092
	1 Peter 3:18-20; 4:6*** The Apostles' Creed The basic creed of Reformed churches, as most familiarly known, is called the Apostles' Creed. It has received this title because of its great antiquity; it dates from very early times in the Church, a half century or so from the last writings of the New Testament. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. [see Calvin] The third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen. The word "catholic" refers not to the Roman Catholic Church, but to the universal church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
