1 | thank you ... encourager | Eph 6:12 | khuck | 105333 | ||
Yes Hank I will accept your admonishment, even as I scroll through the personal chit chat posted here just tonight. When I came to this forum, as I read the Faq and "About the forum" I was struck that it said that this forum was: ...A synergetic resource built to enhance and deepen your study of God's Word. ...it's an opportunity to freely share your knowledge. ...gives the layman and scholar an opportunity to share truth and contribute wisdom. The post that you are admonishing me for writing to JoelK was an opportunity that I took to impart truth and contribute wisdom to an ugly situation. But since I misinterpeted the rules and you are just explaining after all of this time that: This is a Forum dedicated to Bible questions and Bible answers -- AND NOTHING ELSE! I will admit that most of my post are out of line and I am in the wrong place and I'll take this opportunity exit to quietly, leaving you 4 and no more. I will not slam the door and make any further noise shhhhh people are studying. This has been one real experience. Though it is inappropriate this is my last post so no need to respond. Always yours in Christ, Kathy Huck |

Well Searcher, I think I am pretty well versed on Love today! And I would like to thank you 3 Gentlemen for the lessons :) (Searcher, Tim and EdB) Now let me go out and apply it and I will be cookin' with Gas. Yours in Christ, -Kathy |

3 | How does this vs fit your view of love? | Luke 11:43 | khuck | 105316 | ||
Thank you so much Tim, You may be correct in the assessment that they are interchangeble, I notice that the first two times when Jesus asked Agape, "Lovest" is capitalized the last time I notice that Phileo "Lovest" is now in caps. I am under the influence of our dear Brother Ray here. (smile) God Bless you, -Kathy |

Tim (you are a Joy!) I flatter you because I mean it, and I also want you to indulge me further... lol Still feeling beat up with the old stupid stick in this corner. (grin) Obviously I got on this tangent due to incurable curiosity... I kept looking further and deeper into the subject matter "love". Searcher pulled me out... but of course I went even deeper lol... Now I am deeply confused (although I understand and feel solid in the knowlegde that I've gleaned from Searcher's query) Will you or can you unravel this Easton Definition of Love referencing John 21:16.17: ***This word seems to require explanation only in the case of its use by our Lord in his interview with "Simon, the son of Jonas," after his resurrection (John 21:16,17). When our Lord says, "Lovest thou me?" he uses the Greek word Agapas ; And when Simon answers, he uses the Greek word Philo , I.e., "I love." This is the usage in the first and second questions put by our Lord; but in the third our Lord uses Simon's word. The distinction between these two Greek words is thus fitly described by Trench:, " Agapan Has more of judgment and deliberate choice; Philein has more of attachment and peculiar personal affection. Thus the 'Lovest thou' (Gr. agapas) on the lips of the Lord seems to Peter at this moment too cold a word, as though his Lord were keeping him at a distance, or at least not inviting him to draw near, as in the passionate yearning of his heart he desired now to do. Therefore he puts by the word and substitutes his own stronger 'I love' (Gr. philo) in its room. A second time he does the same. And now he has conquered; for when the Lord demands a third time whether he loves him, he does it in the word which alone will satisfy Peter ('Lovest thou,' Gr. phileis), which alone claims from him that personal attachment and affection with which indeed he knows that his heart is full."*** I always appreciate your generous assistance and love, (no flattery here) -Kathy |

5 | thank you ... encourager | Eph 6:12 | khuck | 105275 | ||
To Joel and all of us a reminder: Your battles belong to the Lord as do you:) We think even on this forum that we struggle and fight sometimes with one another. Does anyone here believe that God wants us to bicker and fight over the His Word and hurt and offend each other. I can only think of one who desires this. Do you know why I sometimes come off as unbelieveably humble or forgiving? Because when I see strife entering into our threads... I know where it originates. We are the children of God and we have but one Enemy. When we fight God is not pleased, only satan is happy. (Hell is ecstatic). We only think we are struggling against Khuck, Tim, Searcher, EdB, Kalos, Aixen... that is what the enemy wants us to believe... but we have to try to remember what Paul said... Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. And in this I seek to find a way to always make peace with my siblings in The Lord... and then... AIN'T NOBODY MAD... Except the devil. If I hold my peace and let the Lord fight my battles, I know that the victory will be mine. If trying hard to walk upright, all my battles He will fight... I know that the victory will be mine. Put on your armor and Stand, once fully armed you will stand... because you will stand on a Rock. In Love to the Children of the Most High God, -Kathy |

6 | forgive me ... please | Matt 18:35 | khuck | 105267 | ||
Dearest Joel We all have up and down days, but isn't great they we get to live them all in Christ! You are forgiven and loved over here. It takes a big person to say I am sorry for behaving badly. A coward continues in his ways pointing the finger and never accepts accountabilty for his mistakes. You put yourself in the place of the former! I pray that God conitnually bless and keep you ALWAYS and IN ALL WAYS! And may His Peace be ever upon you! Yet, it would be remiss as your friend and sister in the Lord if I do not speak my heart... Your most personal insults were directed toward Searcher and you are not covered by offering a corporate apology, for personally offending a brother. (and he may not have been offended at all I don't know) We are called to say truth and in that I hope you are not offended by this admonishment. I do not add it in to be insulting, but to be in accordance with Truth. I do it not to defend Searcher (he obviously has his own voice) The Truth that I am trying to express is that repentance (apologies) should not have "if's and but's"... given in Love, they must be unconditional. Hopefully you will read this in the Spirit in which I offer it... and that is in Love and truth. I never consign the errors of the brothers/sisters who I love in Christ. Yours In Christ, -Kathy |

7 | How does this vs fit your view of love? | Luke 11:43 | khuck | 105263 | ||
Hi Searcher First I want to apologize for sending the last question to myself and not to you. ARGGGHH (I messed up the thread. Thank you for the response to 1 Tim 6:10. I hope you will not tire of the topic, but now I have new questions after taking an ever deeper look referencing the subject, "Love". I did attach a bit more in a response to Tim, but these 2 questions are my bottom line. John 21:16,17. 1. Can you explain why in layman terms why Jesus used Agape twice and then finished with Phileo? 2. Why was Peter grieved when Jesus said Phileo a third time, if in his answers he used Phileo each time. I am lost in the frey.... Yours in Christ, -Kathy |

8 | How does this vs fit your view of love? | Luke 11:43 | khuck | 105262 | ||
Hi Tim I too finally picked up on the point of Searcher's question. I finally looked up the deeper meaning of Agape to see if in fact what we are "most often" taught regarding it is a bit flawed. When reading the definition of love put forth in Easton's Dictionary it references John 21:16,17. The first 2 times Jesus questioned Peter he uses the word Agape which proves Searcher's point that the object of such love can be towards a person or an object: RE: of persons 1. to welcome, to entertain, to be fond of, to love dearly RE: of things 2. to be well pleased, to be contented at or with a thing. Therefore I am satisfied with the point made and am in full agreement. Now I want to pose a new question: After reading the definition over and over regarding the breakdown on the words Jesus used in the 2 verses Agape and Phileo Phileo 1. to love a. to approve of b. to like c. sanction d. to treat affectionately or kindly, to welcome, befriend 2. to show signs of love a. to kiss 3. to be fond of doing a. be wont, use to do 1. Can you explain why in layman terms why Jesus used Agape twice and then finished with Phileo? 2. Why was Peter grieved when Jesus said Phileo a third time, if in his answers he used Phileo each time. I am lost in the frey.... Yours In Christ, -Kathy Also posing this to Searcher. |

Good Mornin' EdB, I bet you did not get any sleep last night, you could not possibly have, cause I hogged up ALL OF IT! I slept like a bear in hibernation LOL. I will tell you this though, it was better than a hot buttered blueberry muffin to wake up to your note to me! Thank you:) Yours in Christ, Kathy |

This is just another one of those days EdB and I promise you that this too shall pass:) I trust that you know I am neither on the defensive or offensive (really I hope you know this) The response "I have not promoted going to Lockman anymore than you," basically states; That I agree "with you" that if Noble wants Lockman to read his post it would serve him better to send it directly to the foundation. So he should use either the email I sent or you pointed out. I have no problem with the forum... I like you was trying to give Noble a better vehicle by which to send his idea. No more or less. I do not think you to be an ogre, nor do I endeavor to paint you in such a light. Actually I have on more than several occasions expressed my positive feelings and views regarding you. I respect your Love of the Word and enjoy many of you post... some are like Fire. I know that you stand passionately by your beliefs which I find commendable and no threat. I do not find you to be a intimidating ot threatening at all, and therefore to the contrary am not on the defensive concerning you. As I have said to another poster, I can not articulate or express myself in anyway that comes across non confrontational, and I can only apologize for that, and as I said before you in no way offended me... If you had, I would have told you as much. And right now my Brother, I can attest to you, I feel less than sweet, I am feeling more beat. (I am tired been up since Saturday at 6:00 am mostly working, I own a braid salon. Some of the styles take hours, but I am done for the day... finally) So if this post comes off less than earnest it is not you, but me... ok? As with anyone in Love with Christ and the Word, I will never give up the opportunity to try be your friend. But I will respect your request and leave you be, but I know we will be alright and our relationship will grow, and I know that you believe this, because the one thing that you do know of me, as I do you, is that I truly Love the Lord with everything that is in me Let His love be the measure of love we share between us and we can be assured that we will remain friends always. I assure you that your view of me is not indicative of who I am. Yours in Christ, -Kathy |

11 | Kathy .. why answer me here? | 1 Cor 13:11 | khuck | 105214 | ||
Joel... I am not squabbling with you. Please read everything that I have posted. Sometimes I feel that no matter what I post or how I post it... it seems to comes off confrontational to a lot of people. I don't know what words to choose to express to you the encouragement that, I tried to articulate in the previous responses, in this thread. I am not insulted or offended, I am not angry. Never that! I only wish you God's peace right now. And in the Spirit of peace I am going to drop out of this thread, there is no more that I can say to reassure you of my sincerity, and I do not want to appear to be in a fight or squabble before the audience on this forum, since no such squabble exist. In His Love, -Kathy |

12 | How does this vs fit your view of love? | Luke 11:43 | khuck | 105172 | ||
Searcher: I agree, Before this verse was brought to light in the thread I have also thought as you said, Agape is the highest most charitable and complete love of God. I did not realize that the word love in this verse translated as Agape. Since several of my translations of love on original thread were rather inconclusive, I have a question. Since the word does factually translate as agape in Luke 11. What kind of love or more specifically how would the word love translate in 1 Timothy 6:10? Thank you... -Kathy |

13 | Kathy .. why answer me here? | 1 Cor 13:11 | khuck | 105164 | ||
Oh Joel... I am learning and growing each and everyday just as you are. The words I chose were to only encourage you to endure through the trials. We all go through at sometime or another. My answer was directed to you. I have nothing to glory or gloat about regarding myself. I am not wise in my own eyes. It is no secret that I am nothing and no one special outside of my excellent friendship with Jesus. Am I ever wrong? Yes! Do I have all of the answers for this Forum? No! I questions some things that are said here, and I often wonder "why me?" I have questions of my own and often times due to the way some will always respond to my post, I have to find the courage that Christ promises that He gives me, to ask them anyway, without being intimidated. There are times I fear answering, but I know to fear is to doubt God, and I will step up and boldly respond, no matter the outcome. I often find that I must humbly approach yet even in humility, I must boldly go forth. I responded directly to you... and I accept what I got from you. I responded to your email as well as your original post. Let me add also to what you posted about losers: There are NO losers in Christ, and inside of every true loser there is the potential to be an overcomer and a winner in Him. Am I trying to appear wise? No. But I am going to continue my walk in Love and friendship with you. What I hope to be and appear to be to you is a friend in Christ. If I fail the test, then I will try all the harder, and you can count on that. God's Peace and Blessing be with you ALWAY and in ALL WAYS, -Kathy |

14 | don't be a LOSER | 1 Cor 13:11 | khuck | 105156 | ||
Dearest JoelK Though many of us here struggle to understand and appreciate one another, and at times we may quibble... It is my sincerest hope and belief that we all, (every "serious" believer on the Christ Jesus) seek to be one in Him. Even as misunderstood as I often am on this forum... those here who are more mature in Christ, have shown me why it is more beneficial for their sake as well as mine, that I remain, in spite of the bitter insults and misconceptions, that we ALL sometimes endure here. I choose to be humbly mature through it all... even though I have to step back often and pray for more grace. Yet, to give up on any true member of the Body, of Christ is to give up on Him and let myself down. There is a place where we can all peacefully agree... and that place is in Christ:) 1 Corinthians 13:10-12 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. I pray that God's Peace and Grace ever be upon you! In the Love of Christ, -Kathy |

15 | How does this vs fit your view of love? | Luke 11:43 | khuck | 105145 | ||
Good Morning Searcher :) I am going to take a stab at this one and hope you will respond. I believe that Jesus is telling the Pharisees in this verse that they are in a sad state afflicted and wrectched, because they "Cherish" the honors, entitlements and adulations of there positions, and did not "Cherish" the God's Chosen. They were self-righteous, vain and prideful. They taxed the people with the burden of God's Laws but they themselves were immoral and showed no real Love for God's Law. This is my understanding of the use of agape in this verse. I am open to hearing what you think on it. Yours in Christ, -Kathy |

Thank you Steve :) It really does help... the only thing that kept coming to my mind was the conscientious objectors during the vietnam era, but I was not sure if it would be the same thing. That the question posed. I do agree with the answers that you and EdB contributed to the thread. Learn something new everyday. I thank both you and Kalos for the extra assist. y'all are great! (grin) -Kathy |

17 | What think ye of Christ? | Matt 22:42 | khuck | 105126 | ||
Hi EdB:) (note smile as in previous post... to show no hostile intent and the spirit in which both post were sent to you.) I don't know what I posted to cause you to feel that I was offended, that was never inferred in my response as a matter of fact in all 3 of the post I stated clearly that I was in agreement with you or that your suggestion should not be discounted. I do not understand why you find it hard to communicate with me, there was nothing mean spirited or negative in any of the responses. In the last I answered the questions you asked and responded to you regarding those things you assumed that I might know regarding Noble's intentions. I am sorry that you choose not to communicate with me any further, I do consider you to be my precious brother in Christ, and that saddens me. I am always open to you should you want to reconsider. Sincerely your sister in Him, -Kathy :) |
||||||
18 | What think ye of Christ? | Matt 22:42 | khuck | 105091 | ||
Hi EdB :) I have no need to contact anyone, about anything. But as you obviously agree, the post would not serve any particular purpose on the the thread if Lockman never sees it... and therefore like you I felt the post should be sent directly to lockman, therefore I not only gave Noble an email address to do so, as did you... but I also forwarded the post. Believing that in all fairness (as I told Noble) if Lockman representatives are being posed a question in which a response may be given they should have at least an opportunity to see the question. I have not promoted going to Lockman anymore than you yourself. So I really don't get it? As far as me having a problem with anything as in the past you are mistaken... there is nothing posted to this thread where I have indicated that I have a problem with you... Lockman Foundation, Noble, or anyone.... where do you get these ideas about me. Well in the interest of peace let me once again reiterate from the Heart... I have no intention of insulting or offending you in any capacity and if I have done so please charge it to my head and not to my heart. I apologize. Sincerely yours in Christ, -Kathy |

20 | Is civil disobedience OK when... | Prov 3:13 | khuck | 105077 | ||
Hi Kalos: May I ask you what is means if I feel my conscience has been violated? I have asked several times... I don't think you are speaking like the conscientious objectors in the 60s or are you. Can you please help me to get a better understanding of this term. I would really appreciate a response. I do agree that Steve and EdB have given good responses to this question. Yet I want (prolly not require) a better understanding of the term violation of ones conscience. Thank you, -Kathy |
