3 | new convert takes soil to hometown | Not Specified | KatieK | 84414 | ||
There is a NT passage that refers to a new convert to Christ who is a soldier or servant of a king. One of his duties was to help his king kneel down before his god. I think the new convert took some of the soil back to his home town and asked (probably Peter or Paul I think) for God's forgiveness for kneeling before an idol with his king. Does anyone know the passage please? Cheers KatieK |

7 | learning curves | Ezek 34:1 | KatieK | 81359 | ||
Thanks for your comments EdB, as you cansee I am very much just learning about all this so I get lots of questions coming out of my readings and discussions. KK |

8 | deceive even the elect | Ezek 34:1 | KatieK | 81336 | ||
Thanks EdB, I was thinkinhg more about praying scripture and for things that are hidden, Not about particular people or church. Matthew 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect–if that were possible. I am learning that what I see is not always the truth. What appears good on the outside can be deceiving about what is on the inside. From time to time we pray the passage in Ezekiel about the dry bones...... obviously we are praying for the dried up spirits of the army who are battered and worn by the world. In a sense there is a sense of stirring up trouble, but is there a safer way to stir up trouble than by the Word of God and asking Him to expose what is hidden? KK |

I'm with you CDBJ. I was too scared to asked the question - for appearing quite dumb.... KatieK |

10 | irresponsible shepherds and fat sheep | Ezek 34:1 | KatieK | 81313 | ||
My question relates to Ezekiel 34: 1-24 and beyond. The passage talks about irresponsible shepherds not caring for the flock. Do you think the OT is a reflection of our times? There is a lot of scripture where God uses His prophets to tell the people what they are doing wrong and setting His people on the right track. These days I either hear "You wicked sinner repent and ask for forgiveness", or " We are so special we have won the victory....". I have seen many people hurt by both sieds. I am becoming involved in a prayer ministry within my church and wondering the appropriateness of praying and confessing such things as the sheperds and fat sheep referred to in the Ezekiel passage. I feel presumptous to think such leaders and Christaian could exist in my church - the folk are so lovely and the church appears so healthy. I would not consider praying such a prayer for others unless I place myself at the top of the list for exposure.... I'd value comments that relate the Ezekiel passage to today's Christain life. |

11 | He does not wish for any to perish... | 2 Pet 3:9 | KatieK | 81291 | ||
Radioman2 - is there a question in here? Below is a good example of how God does not wish any should perish... Ezekiel 22 29 The people of the land practice extortion and commit robbery; they oppress the poor and needy and mistreat the alien, denying them justice. 30 "I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none. 31 So I will pour out my wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger, bringing down on their own heads all they have done, declares the Sovereign LORD ." God created us in His image, as with Him in heaven He has the authority, so on earth he gave man the authority to rule. That we gave up that authority (to the devil) was man's wilful action that cost God a great expense in the life of His son to win back that authority. Now that though Christ the authority has been returned to man should we not accept the responsibility it brings. To seek God's Kingdom and His ways and walk accoringly. 2 Peter 3: 9 ....not desiring that any should perish... It does not say it is God's goal that any should not perish because then He would have to usurp the authority that he gave man on earth to rule. God would not make it His goal - because the outcome is reliant on anothers' action... mans. Romans 12: tells us God's will, ........1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual[1] act of worship. 2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will. Man has the responsibility to act and goevern in a way wholly agreeable to God.... When will we accept that. That it is not for us to sit back as observers, but to get in there and be active and responsible. |

12 | queen of heaven | Jer 7:18 | KatieK | 80675 | ||
Thank you all for your comments. It is good to hear the Christ-followers alive and well. And I might add ready to defend the Truth. For me? I'll accept the Word...My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. For those who would pervert the Word.... Zechariah 5: 3 And he said to me, "This is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely will be banished. 4 The LORD Almighty declares, 'I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of him who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in his house and destroy it, both its timbers and its stones.' " |

13 | shekina glory | Jer 7:18 | KatieK | 80567 | ||
Please excuse my lack of knowledge and understanding - I come from a very fundamentalist teaching and am thinking that I have only been taught half the story of the triune God. I have recently heard reference of God's Shekina glory. Is that what you are referring to? ".......The Christian understanding or rather its mutation of the original view of God has the shekhina replaced by "Holy Spirit"......" Can you explain this a bit more please? | ||||||
