1	Lying justified?	Josh 2:5	humbledbyhisgrace	225093
	Greetings Pastor Tim! Exactly!!! Is there a need to lie in the first place? In doing so it seems to me that mankind places faith in their own abilities rather than in God. How sad we are! Truth is we often trust in our self rather than God and in so many ways :-( How big is a mustard seed anyway? Steve
2	Lying justified?	Josh 2:5	humbledbyhisgrace	225051
	Doing okay my brother and hope all is well with everyone here also!
3	Lying justified?	Josh 2:5	humbledbyhisgrace	225024
	Yes try reading from 2:17 on to put it in context.
4	Lying justified?	Josh 2:5	humbledbyhisgrace	225020
	No I do not believe that it is. I would think a better understanding of this would be that it is her faith that is in view here. Steve
5	Gos Can Speak!	1 Cor 12:3	humbledbyhisgrace	219298
	Peter, Please do not do what I think you are about to do. If you are going to try and push that speaking in tongues is the meaning of what Paul is teaching in 1 Corinthians 12:3 your never going to sale that here. That would be a stretch completely ignoring the context and the written word. True enough one must be in the Spirit, have the Holy Spirit of God dwelling within for him/her to speak in tongues. But the same is true for one to perform any and all of the spiritual gifts. Before you attempt to push this, if that is indeed what you are about to do, then please answer this question for us. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12:3b "and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit." Are you going to also tell us that if someone is unable to say Jesus is Lord in tongues that they are NOT in the Spirit? If I am off base on my assumption of what you are about to push regarding this subject please forgive me. I apologize in advance and will do so again if I am in error about what I see coming. Steve
6	Oneness theology wrong again	2 Cor 13:14	humbledbyhisgrace	218140
	jt, Another good passage that should help you better understand where the teaching comes from. Luke 24:36-43 Steve
7	Oneness theology wrong again	2 Cor 13:14	humbledbyhisgrace	218139
	jt, Are you a Jehovah Witnesses? They also contradict the biblical teaching of the resurrection of Christ. You do not seem to be willing to address the passages of scripture offered to you in this discussion for clarification. Why not? Here is something else for you to consider. John 2:19 (NASB95) Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." What is the temple He is speaking of? (See John 2:21). Surely you do not contend that mankind has the ability to destroy the spirit. So what temple is Christ speaking of and therefore, what was raised up in three days? Hope this helps! Steve
8	Oneness theology wrong again	2 Cor 13:14	humbledbyhisgrace	218135
	Greetings Brother John! I don't post much any more but I still read along from time to time and it always does my heart good to see you and the others remaining so faithful!!! Steve
9	Oneness theology wrong again	2 Cor 13:14	humbledbyhisgrace	218134
	Greetings my dear Sister! Thank you and I miss you too you know!!! Steve
10	Oneness theology wrong again	2 Cor 13:14	humbledbyhisgrace	218133
	Hi again jt! See 1 Corinthians 15:42-44. What is it that is "sown in corruption" and "raised in incorruption" and "sown in dishonour" and "raised in power"? Our spirit does not die does it? Go back and read verses 35-37. We will be transformed to be like Him (Philippians 3:21) Steve
11	Oneness theology wrong again	2 Cor 13:14	humbledbyhisgrace	218128
	Greetings jt! What passage of scripture are you referring to when you say... Christ "went back to being a spirit creature, when the need for a body came to an end". There are many passages of scripture that would strongly argue for a much different understanding. Here are a few passage of scripture that might help clarify... Read Matthew 28 1-15. Was Christ only raised spiritually? See Luke 24:3 also! Did He not eat after His resurrection? Acts 10:41 Did Thomas not place his fingers in Christ wounds suffered during His crucifixion? (See John 20:27) John 5:28-29 (NASB95) 5:28 "Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 5:29 and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment. 1 Corinthians 15:13-14 (NASB95) 15:13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; 15:14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. Read all of 1 Corinthians 15 The resurrection of the dead is not referring to only the spiritual man. Steve
12	MEANING OF ON THE VERGE OF A BREKTHROUGH	2 Tim 2:15	humbledbyhisgrace	215499
	Hi Job4210, Luke 18:1 (NASB) Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NASB95) 5:16 Rejoice always; 5:17 pray without ceasing; 5:18 in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. We are encouraged by the word of God to pray and not to lose heart! We also know that if we ask according to His will He hears us and we have the requests which we ask. The key here is that we are asking according to His will. Of course this does not simply mean that we say in our prayer "according to Your will". It means that what we pray must be according to His will. 1 John 5:14-15 (NASB) 5:14 This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 5:15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. Although we may know from Scripture many things that is God's will to pray for we find ourselves in need and praying for many things that we do not know what God's will is. A good example of how we should approach these prayers that we do not know for sure can be see in Christ prayer in the garden of Gethsemane. I do not mean to imply any theological points regarding what Christ knew or didn't know regarding God's will in the prayer. The reason I point to this prayer is for you to see how Christ Himself prayed regarding God's will. Luke 22:41-42 (NASB) 22:41 And He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and began to pray, 22:42 saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done." I would like to encourage you to do some study on prayer. Not only will it help you, but it will also give you the spiritual knowledge on how to explain and teach your son how to approach God in prayer and what he can expect. This may very well help strengthen your sons faith. If he is praying, and for such a long period of time now and has not seen the results as he may well be expecting he could grow weary and begin to doubt. If he has a better understanding of prayer and God, then he is more likely to be stable and able to deal with the doubts brought on by the flesh and/or the enemy. I will be in prayer for you and your son. That God may grant understanding and wisdom and help you both in this. God bless, Steve
13	MEANING OF ON THE VERGE OF A BREKTHROUGH	2 Tim 2:15	humbledbyhisgrace	215491
	Greetings job4210! Welcome to the Study Bible Forum! A year is a long time! I can relate as I'm sure many on the forum can as well. Many of us have prayed for things for long periods of time also. Be encouraged by the word... Philippians 4:6-7 (NASB) says 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Let us all strive to remember who it is that we go to with our prayers and supplication. He understands us and He knows our hearts. Also let me commend you on persevering and teaching your son the value of coming together and praying to the Lord God! You did not mention your sons age but regardless, the lesson is a valuable one and for him to see you persevering in this may very well strengthen his faith and perseverance. Steve
14	Amazing Grace!	Bible general Archive 4	humbledbyhisgrace	215210
	We started the service off with a baptism and ended it with 6 coming forward. I think all were there to profess what they had received (Salvation). Praise God! There was so much going on I never did hear it all. As a commitment counselor I was working with a young lady and her Father that had come forward so I missed out on some of the details of the rest. It's always a blessing to witness the work God is doing in the hearts of His people! Steve
15	speaking in tounges	1 Cor 12:30	humbledbyhisgrace	215127
	Greetings strts5! It is an interesting conversation on the passage! Your post does not reflect what the scripture actually says. The scripture does say "no one understands" in reference to the tongue being spoke. However, it does not say "It is an unknown language". I also do not believe that you will find in scripture anywhere that "glossa" referring to the gift is ever used to reference an "unknown language" (i.e. as if unknown to mankind). If it is please point it out for me :-) It may be that those of the Corinthian church might not have "known" the tongue but neither would a room full of English speaking people who didn't understand French if you were there praying in French. That does not mean it is an unknown language unless we are only referring to it being unknown to the English speaking people in the room. Steve
16	speaking in tounges	1 Cor 12:30	humbledbyhisgrace	215077
	Greetings Brother! I didn't think you did :-) By the way, I don't know if the majority do or not. I do know some do and some don't because I know some that do and some that don't :-) Steve
17	speaking in tounges	1 Cor 12:30	humbledbyhisgrace	215035
	Greetings justme! Not all Pentecostals believe you "must" speak in tongues. Perhaps you did not intend to insinuate that "all" Pentecostals do believe this? Steve
18	Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son	Gen 22:2	humbledbyhisgrace	214940
	Amen!
19	Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son	Gen 22:2	humbledbyhisgrace	214939
	Vintage, As a follow-up... The reason I point this out is due to the original question by bibleman12. He and/or his question at least seems to be trying to reconcile sin and why it's not considered sin that God tempted Abraham with. In his question you can see that from the start the view is tilted in that it has the understanding of God telling Abraham to "kill" his son. That is not what the scripture say but to our sin tainted minds/hearts we are easily lead astray by the simplest of words and/or deceit. So if we set out to reconcile this with the view that God told him to kill his son we are on the wrong road right from the start. Further complication is introduced when we seek to justify God through some technicality such as there was no law against murder when God told Abraham to offer Isaac as a burnt offering. Obviously you only have the written law in mind to make such a statement. The view skews reality and insinuates that murder was only a sin after the written law was established. That's a reverse of what is actually true. Murder has always been sinful. The example of Cain should help us understand that. Sin did not become sin because of the written Law! So if splitting hairs is what we need to do to gain an accurate understanding let's all split hairs so that we all might gain a proper understanding of His word! I'm okay with it! Some times I need others to split hairs for me :-) Again, from the scripture you used it clearly teaches there is no transgression of the law and that sin is not imputed. Neither verse you point to says there is no sin. Steve
20	Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son	Gen 22:2	humbledbyhisgrace	214935
	bibleman, We do know God cannot be tempted with evil nor does He tempt anyone (James 1:13). This is clear teaching in the scriptures. This verse alone should teach you that your heart and mind are in conflict with what the word is teaching you regarding Abraham and Isaac if you view it as an act of evil. Genesis 22:1 (NASB) Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am." Hebrews 11:17-19 (NASB) 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son; 11:18 it was he to whom it was said, "IN ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE CALLED." 11:19 He considered that God is able to raise people even from the dead, from which he also received him back as a type. Clearly, God tested Abraham! He did not tempt him with evil as you see it. If you cannot reconcile the difference you will continue to stumble over it. The test was Abraham's obedience... Genesis 22:12 (NASB) He said, "Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me." And something to keep in mind. God was not surprised by what Abraham did. Abraham was the one being tested and it was Abraham who proved to God that he would be obedient even if it meant sacrificing his son. God then reminded Abraham of His promise/blessing because of his obedience. The test was not so God could find out what Abraham would do! The test was so that Abraham would find out what he would do. It was to strengthen Abraham's faith. Steve
