1 | women? | Rom 16:1 | Ms. Trish | 77537 | ||
Romans 16 1. I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant[1] of the church in Cenchrea. 2. I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been a great help to many people, including me. 3. Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus. 4. They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them. 5. Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia. 6. Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you. I am female and do work in Prison ministry.. (Both my husband and myself travel throughout our state for Prison ministry and we both questioned this and sought God deeply). I heard Joyce Myers and the Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin of Rhema Bible School address this very issue. God Showed me this scripture and it blessed me so very much. God does not contradict Himself.. it is our interpretation that gets us in trouble. See here how Paul puts this: Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus. He Calls them his FELLOW WORKERS in CHRIST. Right along side of him. As I have traveled and preached I have seen one thing... there are many more women going to the prisons, nursing homes, hospitals etc than men. God needs us all. we all have a plan and purpose, Jer 29:11. I Have been a part of a wonderful ministry and pray that more men and women do hear the calling of our Heavenly Father. It is a joy, an honor and a blessing to be HIS hands and feet. Joyce Meyer brought up a point that she came across as she researched this very subject. She said that in many of the translations and books that she read referred to the scripture that asks that women keep quiet at church was actually due to their lack of education. They would interrupt the "Minister" and ask what they meant and it was not appropriate. So in turn, this was taken out of context and many religions refuse to allow women as ministers. Because of this mis-interpretation. |

2 | WHERE TO FIND ALL THE NAMES OF GOD | Ps 83:18 | Ms. Trish | 76357 | ||
God, The Father God, The Son God, The Holy Spirit; are merely some of the ways God manisfested Himself. i.e. The Burning Bush etc. |

3 | is selling in a church building fine? | John 2:13 | Ms. Trish | 59948 | ||
I just have one question fellow Christian... Instead of going to the multitudes for your answer, have you prayed about what Our Heavenly Father would have you do. We all have very DIFFERING opinions But only the Holy Spirit can minister the truth to you and lead you in the direction He would have for you. The best source for the interpretation of the HOLY WORD is the HOLY Spirit. God Bless you and Lead you in all your quests. And may God Bless your Church in it's Finances. Sincerely yours, |

4 | Why does God "allows" suffering? | 2 Cor 12:7 | Ms. Trish | 52213 | ||
But wouldn't this statement you read be in contradiction with this verse: 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. I believe that Yes, God Allows things in our lives, but it is how we handle those situations. Read about Job... Satan went before God and basically complained. God then ALLOWED satan to do what he wanted, BUT God did tell satan, do what you wish, but don't kill him. Job stayed true to God... Now, we have the new covenant of the Blood of Jesus. Again I remind you that God tells us that satan came to seek us out kill us, destroy us..., but JESUS CAME TO GIVE us LIFE and give it in ABUNDANCE. Look at Jer 29:11 Here God says "For I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to PROSPER you and NOT harm you, plans for a GOOD future." God forgives, God provides, but we are the biggest obsticle we have in the receiving of God's blessings. Remember tho He forgives there are still those that have to suffer the consequences of their actions. God is not a God of Confusion, If a minister preaches confusion I would definately think twice before going back and reading or hearing what they had to say and I would pray for them to preach ONLY the truth thru the Holy Spirit. NOW, AS FAR AS THE OTHER PART OF YOUR QUESTION: Satan does not MAKE us do anything, he just puts the temptation before us. WE then make the choice to go forth with any perverse action... remember, God gave us free choice- that's when our flesh takes over and there it is the beginning of suffering. REBELION, living in an ANTI-christ spirit, (Sin). When Eve took a bite of "sin" through temptation then also Adam became tempted. Adam then made the choice to turn His head from GOD'S WILL. So if you are in rebelion, you are not in God's will... therefore you have separated yourself from purity, from God's perfection. God cannot be in the presence of impurity. So Adam and Eve through sin, chosen sin, separated themselves. Then when we stay in rebelion, (don't repent) then we GIVE satan control. It all comes back to our Free choice. So, sin causes pain, suffering, Repentance causes freedom from that pain, suffering. In order to get out of that suffering, God gave us Jesus. The New Covenant. GOD BLESS YOU!! |

5 | Love grow cold? | Matt 24:12 | Ms. Trish | 47477 | ||
When I read this entire scripture, Math 24, I see that this group of people whose "love grows cold" could be people operating in a religious spirit rather than having a relationship with God and actually being saved. Just like in the days that Jesus walked the earth.. The religiosness of the people crucified Him. In that same way, we can ask, will that same spirit keep people today from following in Godly love and receiving the truth of Jesus Christ, and following into that coldness and parrishing.. "For My people parrish because of lack of knowledge". | ||||||
6 | Salvation through Jesus alone? Help!!! | Rom 10:9 | Ms. Trish | 47325 | ||
Dear Marleen, thank you for this testimony regarding leading your mother to Chirst.... I have elderly parents who not only are devoted catholics, but due to language barriers and lack of literature when they were young.. they learned an unusual Catholic doctrine. I am now a Holy Spirit filled Christian and it saddens me to see stubbornness rob my family of joy. There is such judgment for other denominations and I feel like I am waiting for the "Donkey to talk" and for the "scales to fall from their eyes". Again, thank you for this testimony. . . it gave me hope. I know that when I gave my heart entirely to the Lord His promise is to save my ENTIRE household. Praise the Lord Jesus... Sincerely in Christ Ms. Trish |

7 | Does Rev 22:19 teach loss of salvation? | Rev 22:19 | Ms. Trish | 47184 | ||
I believe that those who have received the Truth... that have been truly saved... that really professed it with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and BELIEVED it beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus is Lord that they are saved... Then I strongly believed that at this time the holy spirit comes in to your heart. I also believe to take it a step further that you need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit so that you can begin to receive the fullness of the truth of the gospel and operate in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit." To me here in this scripture God asks us not to go out and preach without the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I believe that this is so that we are in direct communication with God as we Preach, teach and testify. I believe that there are many people out there operating in their own knowledge rather than the in the Spirit of God.. So therefore to answer your question, if YOU REALLY have the living God in you, you will not add to the book of God nor will you take away from it. For those that have come before and added to the Holy Book are teaching a false doctrine and those have taken away from the gospel again are teaching a false doctrine. God Warns us about false teachers and profits in the end times... Take a look around what do you see. Therefore I believe that those who add or take away from the gospel have not been saved.... There are many religions out there that say they are based on the bible BUT work out of someone else's translation of the bible. |

8 | messages | Prov 29:15 | Ms. Trish | 46894 | ||
We travel through out our state and minister in the Prisons. What I have learned in going in to the Prisons is simple.... raise your children according to the scripture, with LOVE and discipline. You have to have balance. For the deceiver is here to destroy God's Children... And, satan hates the little children... look at all the abortions, all the crimes against children, children killing children in schools, sibling, etc. There is a sermon among many sermons here. Look at how many children are growing up with out a daddy in the house or a mamma. Many of the people in the prisons that we talk to did not have a strong family unit... (Now, I hope I will get in trouble for saying this) BUT a woman canNOT teach a young man how to be a man... women canNOT teach men to be men period. The same for men, they canNOT teach a young girl how to be a woman. There are many circumstances that can put parents into the single parenting situation, I am not judging single parents... only stating that there are certain things that need to be addressed in the world today. (Single parents need the help of their christian brothers and sisters in these situations.) It just depends on what you as a deliverer of the message are looking for here. Do you want to let people know how important it is to raise children with respect for God? Do you want to let them know of how in need we are for strong Christians to answer the calls in their lives and pick up their crosses and go out and do what it is they are called to do. (Whether it be in helping single parents, jail ministries, helping in your church, or whatever it is that you are called to do.) Do you want to teach people that it is okay to dicipline in love. It's all on where you want to go with this. There is so much to say in Love to those in need and wanting to serve the Lord Jesus. Proverbs 22:15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him. Proverbs 29:15 The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left undisciplined brings his mother to shame. God Bless you... I hope I understood what you were looking for here. In Jesus Precious Love, Ms Trish |

10 | seeking information about "rapture" | NT general Archive 1 | Ms. Trish | 43498 | ||
Dear Mark, Don't be discouraged. We as Christians are in a quest for truth. When the Lord opens our eyes and we are hungry,we search. There is nothing wrong with having an opinion that differs especially when Rapture isn't a word found in the Bible at all. Rapture is defined as a catching away when the Lord says, The Earth is He's and the Fullness there of. The Kingdom of God will be established here when Jesus comes. The problem with a secret Rapture would mean there is a third coming when Jesus comes again to Judge the wicked after the 7 years but the Bible only talks of a 2nd coming not 3 comings of Jesus. The Bible does say He will appear in the East and be seen in the West as lightning in the sky. I Thess 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and dead in Christ shall rise first. 17 Then we which are alive and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Lets examine. The Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God. Doesn't sound very quiet does it? Sounds like a celebration when Jesus comes for His bride doesn't it? Also, it states we will be changed in a twinkling of an eye which will be a Glorious Day. But how could flesh dwell in His presence. The scriptures also refers to being caught up in the air which is a statment that refers to the air and air surrounds the earth. Also, in Acts 1:11 The Angels talking "Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring at the sky? Jesus has been taken away from you into heaven. And someday, just as you saw him go, he will return! Which refers to the same manner in which He left. All could see. Also, Why would a God who states I am not a God of confusion bring absolute confusion on the world. By planes crashing, driver's of vehicles disappearing, and children missing. Doesn't John talk of the Anti-christ already being in his time and doesn't Revelation 13 talk of the Anti-Christ system, The Bible talks in types and shadows couldn't we see that the wisdom of God thru the Holy Spirit telling us that the beast is a system in the Spirit world and acts like and preforms as the Anti-Christ. Why would the anti-christ be anything less than the one trying to imitate the All mighty God. 2 Thess 2:1 And now, brothers and sisters, let us tell you about the coming again of our Lord Jesus Christ and how we will be gathered together to meet him. 2 Please don't be so easily shaken and troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. There have been many with a system of anti-christ spirit. Hitler who used the Jews as comman ground to build an empire out of what Jews possessed. Catholic Church who tortured and killed many who would not convert to there faith during the Aquistion. And to gain money for comman ground to build an empire. Now, we can see this same Spirit in the Middle East with the war to wipe out any one who helps the Jewish nation who wants all the Land and Kill anyone that doesn't convert and gain possessions to gain an empire from others possesions. We can see a people being used by this anti-christ spirit with purpose for Comman ground to exalt itself in a Religon used to stronghold people into believing 2 Timothy 3:5 "They will act as if they are religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. You must stay away from people like that." We are a many body member to pull together as one. Many people try to discern the word of God with our minds and not through the Spirit. When we do this we are blind to spiritual truth. God is pulling a people together and calling people out of the Religious System to find the truth of God to have the image of God stamped on our Souls. 1 John 1:7-9 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. |

11 | Are there foods that are unclean to eat? | NT general Archive 1 | Ms. Trish | 43443 | ||
Leviticus 3:17 " 'This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live: You must not eat any fat or any blood.' " Leviticus 7:25 Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering by fire may be made to the Lord must be cut off from his people. This is what I found. Hope it helps you. God Bless |

12 | How can God let us go through pain? | John 11:35 | Ms. Trish | 43005 | ||
I guess the only thing I can tell you is that we live in a free choice world. Read about Job. God never tempted him, but he allowed satan to tempt him, to bring storms and illness upon Job. But Job knew that God was awesome. He also just Knew God. This is just a question, but where are your friends parents in their walk with God. Are they strong in their relationship with Jesus ... do they know the promises of God. Jer 29:11 tells us that God has Good plans for us Plans for a good future and not to harm us. You sometimes never get an answer, but sometimes we just need to Pray and have faith. God tells us that we are healed by the stripes on Jesus back. The bible also tells us that"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge ." and my heart feels sorrow for my brothers and sisters throughout the world that are suffering. We know that satan wants to destroy us. We also know that JESUS CAME TO GIVE US LIVE AND TO GIVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY. We really need to pray for all that are suffering. To come in agreement that they will find the Pease of Jesus. In Christ Ms. Trish |

13 | Is it wrong to drink wine? | Rom 14:21 | Ms. Trish | 42979 | ||
Look at this scripture: Ephesians 5:18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, Then, look at the instruction that was given here in this scripture: 1 Timothy 5:23 Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses. God blesses us with great things to partake of, food can become a problem like alcohol can. We have to use bible sense and common sense goes right with that. God Bless you!! |

14 | Where is God when I need him? | Bible general Archive 1 | Ms. Trish | 42078 | ||
I guess I stopped asking "Where was God when I was being hurt, torn down, abused and close to wanting to die" when I realized that the answer (to me) was that Jesus was there being hurt and abused and raped and ridiculed with me. I started asking where was I in my walk with Christ when these things were happening? I personally was no where near God. I was living it up. I had religion, but no relationship with God. I would go out and party and then run to confession thinking this was they way to live. Basically I was living in sin and since God cannot look upon sin then how could He bless me and guide me. Again this was my personal experience. I also know that satan came to seek me out, destroy me and kill me. In fact satan was using my own emotions to kill me off with bitterness. But the wonderful thing was the love of Christ was with me even if I didn't know it. The truth was that JESUS CAME TO GIVE YOU LIFE AND GIVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY. Satan has a big hand in the bad things that happen in our lives but we have to remember that we live in a world where God gave us free will. That means that we live in the same world where the rapists, murders, sinners in general, have free will to act in whatever manner they desire. My job, well our job, is to stay continually in prayer. Seeking God's face. Listening to the Holy Spirit for discernment so that we may be able to judge and access the environment so that we may be safe. God makes promises to us, read Jer 29:11. I cannot make excuses for the suffering or even understand some of the things that happen in our lives, but I do know that I have a greater weapon and that is the word of God. I stopped being bitter with God when I figured who NOT to blame; Satan came to seek kill and destroy you, BUT JESUS, Jesus came to give you live and to give it more abundantly. I pray for God's peace to comfort you and come over you. I pray for God's loving ministry to come to you when you need it the least and the most. I plea the blood of Jesus over you for a hedge of protection day and night. And I command Our Heavenly Father's mighty angels to come and surround you and guide you every step of you way. These things I pray in JEsus Name. God Bless you!!! Just remember satan wants you out of the picture and he will put thoughts in your mind of self destruction, hatred, unforgiveness, even suicide. If I would have ended my life at that time I would have never known the wonderful man that I call my partner in life, I would have never seen all the lives come to Christ through the ministry God has blessed me and my husband with. AND it would have destroyed so many other lives. I am so blessed that I heard the voice of God through friends, songs, and Love. |

15 | so read this chapter as such | 1 Cor 7:1 | Ms. Trish | 40955 | ||
I have heard many bible scholars discuss this issue. If you will note that in these passages Paul is addressing WIVES. In that time women were not educated and would interrupt the services asking questions. Paul gives instruction to wives to keep quiet in church and wait until a later time to open thier mouths with questions, please note the following scripture, Paul talks about a female servant in the church. She is just one of the women that Paul speaks of. Romans 16:1 I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant[ 16:1 Or deaconess] of the church in Cenchrea. (Whole Chapter: Romans 16 In context: Romans 16:1-2) Biblegate NIV There is so much to what God has to offer ALL his children. Satan will take scripture and twist it to try and keep one God's most awesome tools, silent in teaching God's word. There is so much to learning the Scripture.. there is also so much responsibility in teaching it accurately. God BLess you! |

16 | Is JESUS a ticket to heaven or is a way | Bible general Archive 1 | Ms. Trish | 40951 | ||
Romans 10:9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."[5] 12For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."[6] 14How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"[7] There is only One way to the Father In Heaven, and that is through The Son. John 17 Jesus Prays for Himself 1 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: 2"Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.

18 | Need To find Scripture | Rom 10:9 | Ms. Trish | 37566 | ||
Wow!! I think the main thing that we need to look at here is when you confess with you mouth Jesus is Lord, but when we believe it deep within our hearts, when we receive Jesus into our hearts, when we are baptized in the Holy Spirit and begin to read the Gospel every day and pray in the spirit you change. You can not live in sin because deep within you know it's wrong. You make mistakes, but as God reveals to you that you have strayed and you repent it is incredible. The things that you use to accept are no longer acceptable. It is a process of purification through Jesus. God gives us free choice to live for Him or against Him. That is why it is so important to read the Gospel daily. That is when we realize tht God is not confusing but rather satan is who causes confusion. It is plain and simple, when you have the living God in your heart, then you know what is right and what is wrong. It is one thing to say Jesus is Lord, but it is another entirely to receive Him and Believe Him. You are so precious and God has great plans for you. Jer 29:11 tells you that. People are people and they make mistakes, but when people have truly received Jesus, deep in their spirit, they know when they sin. All that we as His children have to do is repent, learn from our mistakes and go on. That is when we can minister to others about our trials and how, through Christ, we have over come. Sincerely In Christ Trish |

19 | how credible r we if theres no rapture | Bible general Archive 1 | Ms. Trish | 34114 | ||
Dear Friend in Christ: In Your statement, "as far as saying a second chance for I did not state this I said his Second Coming or Second Advent." I do not believe in the secret rapture." I realize that you did not say "second chance" , however, just adding to support your ideas, it seems to me that in most of the teachings that I hear regarding the rapture theory that it is addressed as a type of first chance before the last chance. I enjoyed reading your comment. Stay in Christ, Ms Trish | ||||||
20 | how credible r we if theres no rapture | Bible general Archive 1 | Ms. Trish | 34018 | ||
Simple statements please. My question is this... What if all the people that are effected by the rapture theory say "Hmm, IF I get a second change to go to heaven after the saints are raptured... then I can just wait, live it up now and worry about it later." Where does it say 2nd changes are an option in the second coming. If we minister pro rature theories ALL the time, then IF BY CHANCE there is no rapture and the horrors of the end days begin, how many Christians will still be believers. How many will be mad at God for what was ASSUMED to happen i.e. The Rapture. What bearing will this have on the believability of Christianity. | ||||||
