1 | what god wants me to do in the body | Bible general Archive 1 | borgain | 78906 | ||
Hi tasha Welcome to the forum. The best that we can do to find God's will are the following: Prayer (Jer 33:3) Read our Bibles (2 Tim 3:16 - 17) Witness to others (Mat 28:19) Have fellowship with other born again Christians. There are more to name but these form the first layer we build on our foundation Jesus Christ. Borgain |

2 | revival today? | 2 Chr 7:14 | borgain | 76324 | ||
Hi Yes, we can. It usually starts with us (you and me). If we wait for something to happen, then we will wait forever. We have to start it as instruments, of the Holy Spirit. Borgain |

3 | Should my kids read Psalms? | Ps 41:10 | borgain | 75104 | ||
Hi 1 Sam 13:14 But now your kingdom shall not continue (Saul's). The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you." David was a man after God's heart, David did not have a religious face. He was a normal human like you and me. He stumble and fell but stood up, repented and loved God with everything he had. This sounds like someone that we can relate to in this day we live. Someone that had enemies, as we have enemies etc. It shows us that there are times in our lives that we call to God with all our problems and how we want to repay them, until the Holy Spirit talks to us and we calm down, and then sound just like David. The same on the other side we can praise God for all His goodness and mercy. Borgain |

4 | Can I remarry and be forgiven by god | Luke 7:47 | borgain | 72514 | ||
Hi Read Luk 7:36-50 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I believe you can be forgiven, by the repentance of your sin. Which means, to admit it, believe Jesus can/will for give you, and to confess it and ask Him for forgiveness. A repented person will turn 180 degrees around and never do "that" again. You also have to ask your husband and children (because they are also affected by our wrong choices sometimes) for forgiveness. If they don't want to forgive you that's then between God and them (forgive us as we forgive others). And forgive him (your husband), tell him that. And pray pray pray, lest we fall for the temptation that comes our way. Borgain P.S You can also see a born again marriage councilor together, because this forum is more about bible study, that counciling which your family needs. |

5 | is december 25th the day christ was born | Gal 4:4 | borgain | 68355 | ||
Hi 1 Cor 11:23-26 23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 25In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. This is the way Paul reminded the Corinthians and us to remember Jesus, and what He has done for us. Borgain |

6 | What is the people sin? | NT general Archive 1 | borgain | 67941 | ||
Hi It sounds like you believe that God, the I AM, exists. If you are judging Him for things you don't understand, because you weren't there, remember He will judge you with the same measure. Job 42:5-6 5"I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You. 6Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes." I pray you will meet Him soon, and find the truth from Him. Borgain |

Hi Confusing The questions you summited, sounds like those satan made to Eve, when he tried to confuse her and let her question God's purpose and will for His creation. But God has given Jesus to solve them, before we take a bite of the forbidden fruit. Gen 3 1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, "You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?" 2And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, "You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die."' 4Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. 5For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." Remember he(satan) is the father of lies, he can manipulate the way we see things or understand them. He knows the scriptures better then we do, he is "alive" must longer then us, and as we know with age, knowledge and understanding of things becomes more, but we have to summit to God and satan WILL flea. Rather let the Holy Spirit teach you. Borgain |

9 | big-bang theory | Bible general Archive 1 | borgain | 66611 | ||
Hi "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible" Heb 11:3 So, something visible or know to mankind did not start the creation. If it was then we will, have to use it as a foundation of how we do things here on earth. 1) Say we want to build a house:- take all that you want to put in/on your house, the bricks, windows, doors etc. on one spot. 2) But on a lot of explosives, to make a big bang. 3) Set the explosives off. 4) And see your dream home is ...... a big hole. So something is missing and we are trying to logicaly explain what happend. We have to be like children, trusting in our Father, that He knows how even if we can not understand nor explain it.

10 | Can we pray Romans 10:1 on the USA | Rom 10:1 | borgain | 66281 | ||
Hi Seneca Yes. 1 Tim 2: 3-5 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, We had prayer meetings on Wednesday nights and some nights we went into the streets and started praying for the people whoe lived in a street or blocks. It was usually collective. Then the following months we could not keep up with all the visitors (from these streets/blocks) that wanted to know more. Some accepted Christ. Jesus died for every one, we can not be selective, to whom we want to proclaim the good new. What is impossible for us is possible for God. Borgain |

11 | Is believing the same as knowing? | Acts 15:11 | borgain | 65701 | ||
Hi MarieH The scripture that your daughter might be using or heard about may be the following: 1 John 2:3-5 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. The is a big difference in the words know and believe for me, but because of the one the other happens. If you are married, you believe that your husband is faithfull (when you can not see what he is doing), but you also know him, what he likes and what he doesn't. To believe Heb 11 and as you said He died for us and He lives. Then to know Him means that you talk to Him i.e. have a relationship with Him, you know what He wants. To have a teachable spirit is vey important, if you cut with the sword(Bible) it cuts back aswell. It will not help to argue with your daugter, but pray FOR her and WITH her that she might see the truth throught the Word. Borgain Rom 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God |

12 | Never defend myself or others ag. evil? | Matt 5:39 | borgain | 64685 | ||
Hi Constantin Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. There can be alot to say about your question, but I just want to (hopefully) give this simple answer. Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (James 4:7) Stand your ground on your knees and the world will become smaller. So be preprayed, and when you face the situation, let Jesus come thru. Borgain |

13 | next step..? | Eph 5:31 | borgain | 63898 | ||
Hi Q: Waiting for the ceremony It is also important to remember what nearly happend to Abram, when he tried for his reasons NOT to reveal to the Egiptians that Sarai was his wife. (Gen 12:10-20) We can not hide behind something, thinking that the Lord does not see our real intensions. As baptism is an "outward witness" of what happened inside, the same needs to happen in this case. The following scriptures talks about divorce and will hopefully answer your other question. Mal 2:16 For the LORD God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one's garment with violence," Says the LORD of hosts. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously." Mat 19 1 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. 2And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there. 3The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?" 4And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made[1] them at the beginning "made them male and female,'[2] 5and said, "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?[3] 6So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate." 7They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?" 8He said to them, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but FROM THE BEGINNING it was NOT so. 9And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality,[4] and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery." 10His disciples said to Him, "If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry." This is a very difficult issue, and the best is to pray about it, and for them. Hope this helps. Borgain |

14 | inmorality also if the couple will marry | Eph 5:31 | borgain | 63875 | ||
Hi teragram123 You wrote - No wonder our nation is in such a mess... the divorce rate among Christians now out ranks that of the unbelievers. If you are a Christian, how can you give such ungodly advise? This is not advise it is something so many people do with out knowing what they do. It looks like the Holy Spirit is the judge here. Sleeping around as an unbeliever or believer is the same thing. Look at Jesus and the samaritan woman in John 4:16-18. 16Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." 17The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have well said, "I have no husband,' 18for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly." Borgain Lets keep our eyes on the Creator and not His creation. |

15 | next step..? | Eph 5:31 | borgain | 63874 | ||
Hi I see a can of worms were opened, if you read some of the other posts. :-) With my first response to you, I tried to paint a picture of how important the act of sex is. Thus if you had sex with 10 different people you have married and divorced them all. If the reason for these persons were not marriage, but lust, then they have to repent - it sin. If the reason was marriage (which include the knowledge of what marriage is) and they seperate (divorce) and get another partner, and do the same thing again. They are busy with adultery. (Mat 5:27,28,32) The same as you can not become one with Christ and the world, that is adultery. Lets look at Jesus and the samaritan woman in John 4:16-18. 16Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." 17The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have well said, "I have no husband,' 18for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly." You can have a sexual relationship and think it is marriage but it is not. So the next step to take for these believers is to take stock and see why it(sex) happened the first time, and take it from there. If it was because of lust etc. then repent, Jesus will forgive them and THEN let them consider what was done and set it right. Marriage is the union of two people thru God, and they can only come closer to each other thru Him and not of becuase of any commen things in their lifes. Thru marriage new life comes as we are "married" to Christ we become born again, the seed was planted, a new person is born and the cord attached to the old life is broken. (Resembles birth of a baby) So, they have to take stock and pray together, so that the Holy Spirit will reveal to them why it happen, what to do next. And as we become born again, tell it to the world thru as ceremony. In Christ Borgain (Some people went thru all the right steps, but still the word marriage is only a word and legal document) No one can throw stones, unless they are sinless, Jesus didn't even considered to judge that women brought to Him and the Jews, but only told her sin no more. |

Hi fle Sex is the act of marriage. It is the seal of the covenant between husband and wife. They are then one after the act. Asking the question shows me the Holy Spirit, has already spoken to you in your heart(s) about it. Sex resembles our relationship with Christ. You can not ask Christ into our life without becoming saved. (A marriage certificate is only a legal document on earth.) Some other scripture Ex 22:16-17 Deut 20 Borgain |

17 | XMAS RELIGION OR MAN MADE | Luke 2:13 | borgain | 61669 | ||
Hi This is a real problem and if we put some of todays christains next to "non-christains", do we see a difference? They speak the same things, do the same things etc. The christians might visit a "church" more often then the other. Unfortunately some christians, learned to become christians and never met Jesus. Then you might find those way out Christians (that lost it), that don't believe in these holidays, because of 1 Cor 11 : 23 - 26 and other scriptures, (and the conviction by the Holy Spirit) 23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat;[2] this is My body which is broken[3] for you; do this in REMEMBRANCE of Me." 25In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in REMEMBRANCE of Me." 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. And then the "we don't want to lose" our members issue, because that won't look good in our register and finances....... We are whom we serve, we do the same things, speak the same ideas. Borgain |

19 | Where is the Loving God???? | John 16:33 | borgain | 59496 | ||
Hi God is a gentleman. If we don't want Him in your schools, goverments, homes, workplace and life's, He will not force Himself in. Things can happen and because of the wall that we build between Him and us, He "can't" help us, because we want to do it first and not alow Him to do it thru us. (Look at the life of Lot) Jesus said, that we will have trouble in the world, and what they have done to Him they will do to those who follow Him. There are to many prosperity preachers, that emphases on the FICTION it will always go well with God's children. Then after a few years people believe it is true, not realizing that it isn't. There also the other side of the coin, testing(growing) of your faith, like Job, Moses, Abraham etc. The natural man does not understand this (and other things), and that is where prayer comes in. (And it is always easier to blame someone else.) Borgain |

20 | If I really don't have money to give. | Num 18:12 | borgain | 58313 | ||
Hi Sometimes we forget that God wants 100 percent of us and what belong to us. Did He not give us all we have, anyway? Mat 6 31"Therefore do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?' or "What shall we drink?' or "What shall we wear?' 32For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Here, Jesus say if we worry about things we need (have money to buy it) we are like the Gentiles. Mat 19: 21, 22 21Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." 22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. The less we have to manage, the more time we have to serve God. Some people still believe you have to pay a type of "insurance against fire" premium on a policy that has expired. Anyway a organisation is not God, the people that need it "is", Jesus said if you do it to them you have done it to me. I thank God that I don't have to do anything to please Him, or that He will love me more. GIVE TO GOD WHAT HE LAID ON YOUR HEART. Borgain Matthew 6 1 "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 3But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly. |
