1 | Do altars belong in christian churches? | Ex 17:15 | mbooker | 97873 | ||
Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. Ps 149 1-3 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. Ps 150 Concerning dancing before the Lord, is it forbidden during what we typically today call 'worship' service? Where exactly in scripture can we find the prescribed elements of worship? Is praise one of those elements? |

2 | The Power of Prayer and a Prodigal Child | 1 John 5:15 | mbooker | 96571 | ||
I am so glad I decided to venture here today!! Brother Tim, you have me in tears. What wonderful news! I rejoice with you! I was listening to Fred Hammond this morning and in his song he quoted Zechariah 4:6 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit'. When I hear this song, I think of my father, who is also on drugs, and I think 'Not by might or power, but by His Spirit will my father be delivered.' the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. Prov 11:21 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16 Romans 5:1-5 was given to me when I shared with a brother that I was afraid to hope to much the first time my father went to a Christian rehad center. v5 was especially edifying: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. My prayer for you is that you continue hope in His mercy (Ps 33:18) Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. Psalm 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; Psalm 33:22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. Psalm 38:15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. Psalm 39:7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. Psalm 42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. Psalm 42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. Psalm 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. Psalm 71:5 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth. Psalm 71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. Psalm 119:49 Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. Psalm 119:81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. Psalm 119:114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. Psalm 119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. Psalm 130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. Psalm 146:5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Psalm 147:11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. |

3 | A Good Baptist | Luke 10:29 | mbooker | 95406 | ||
Added to say... I forgot to apologize... :) If I left the impression that I though you were being self-righteous or rigid in denominationalism, I apoligize. That was not what I intended. Grace to you Meredith |

5 | A Good Baptist | Luke 10:29 | mbooker | 95397 | ||
Thanks Hank for your response. Please forgive me for not being able to discern your meaning of a 'good Baptist'. Besides being ‘simple in speech and not as seasoned as most on this board’ as my sister Vehoka is, I have learned over the past few years to slow my roll when someone makes a statement and my mind processes it and comes to its own conclusions as to what the speaker (or in this case writer) means by his statement. For me, this is especially important when I do not have a more intimate or face-to-face connection with the speaker/writer. If the statement is of interest to me, I will dialogue/ask questions to discern whether or not my conclusion is correct. The ‘good Baptist’ statement interested me, as I mentioned in my original post, because I attend a Baptist church and the statement gave me a chuckle. I had no consternation over what you meant by ‘good Baptist’, only humorous curiosity because, as I said previously, I attend a Baptist church and your statement reminded me of what my boss said once. While I did not think you were being self-righteously or rigidly denominational, your statement also reminded of a question of mine that is still in need of an answer: Why do we have denominations and are they scriptural? I put the denominations question out there in hopes that someone would/could give me an answer or point me in the right direction. Thanks again for taking your time to add your explanatory footnote. One more question, is the ‘Baptist Faith and Message’ written somewhere that I can read it? Thanks again Grace and peace to you Meredith |

6 | A Good Baptist | Not Specified | mbooker | 95111 | ||
As I was scanning through recent posts, I came across this: 'If you are a good Baptist...'. I then thought of a comment my boss said one day. 'I wasn't being a good Catholic'. I chuckled at the 'good Baptist' statement because the church I attend wears the label 'Missionary Baptist'. The statement also prompted two questions. 1. What does it mean to be a 'good Baptist' or a 'good Catholic' for that matter? 2. Do we have any scriptural basis for having demoninations? Thanks in advance to those who respond. |

8 | Who is guilty as charged? | Heb 10:29 | mbooker | 95002 | ||
At this point, I am lead to vv 26-28. For if we go on deliberately and willingly sinning after once acquiring the knowledge of the Truth, there is no longer any sacrifice left to atone for [our] sins [no further offering to which to look forward]. [There is nothing left for us then] but a kind of awful and fearful prospect and expectation of divine judgment and the fury of burning wrath and indignation which will consume those who put themselves in opposition [to God]. Any person who has violated and [thus] rejected and set at naught the Law of Moses is put to death without pity or mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. The WHO who 1. Continues to deliberately and willingly sin (v26) 2. Rejects Christ (v28) My reasoning for #2 is that the writer of Hebrews was comparing the old covenant with the new, the sacrifice of bulls and goats with Christ. In v28, the writer makes reference to those who rejected the Law of Moses (old covenant) being put to death. Likewise, those who reject the Law of Christ (new covenant), there by rejecting Christ himself, remain in death and have not been passed from death unto life (1 John 3:14). That's the answer I believe the Holy Spirit leads me too. |

9 | GOD TURNED HIS BACK ON JESUS WHEN JESUS | Bible general Archive 2 | mbooker | 94973 | ||
Good morning Ray I just happened across your post and 'we will not find in the Scriptures that He "became sin"' caught my eye. Some one may have already posted this and I apologize if they have, but, without having read through this entire post, graceful may have been referring to 2 Cor 5:21 if she said Jesus "became sin". While the KJV doesn't say he "became sin" it does phrase it like this: For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. So, if someone said Jesus "became sin" or "was turned into sin" or "was made sin", I would automatically think of 2 Cor 5:21 Your Sister in Christ Meredith |

Jeff Though your note was to Graceful, I wanted to let you know that your admonishment, especially the second paragraph, encouraged me so... :). I love being reminded of who I am IN HIM!! Thanks dear brother Your Sister in Christ Meredith |

11 | What's the Second greatest" commandment? | Matt 22:34 | mbooker | 94510 | ||
Matt 22:34-40 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments. NIV |

12 | What is the "Force of Faith"? | Bible general Archive 1 | mbooker | 83096 | ||
Hi Brother Tim... long time to see... :) Since this thread is restricted, I will venture to ask this: Those that were 'tortured, flogged, stoned, and sawn in two', could they be the 'others (who) were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection' (v35)? The key being THEY did not accept the deliverance that Abba Father provided. OK, that's my question, and I'm outta here!!! Grace and peace to you, Beloved of God |

13 | Help | 1 Peter | mbooker | 76509 | ||
Could be this passage: For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. I Peter 3:18-20 |

14 | How Did Simon Know - What Did He See | Acts 8:18 | mbooker | 76489 | ||
Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Acts 8:14-18 How did Simon know that the Hoily Ghost was given? What did he see? |

15 | Is it Sin or Me? | Rom 5:12 | mbooker | 75724 | ||
Good Morning Brother Tim! :) Just this morning, I was thinking about Romans 7, particularly vv 15-23, and how to reconcile it with what Paul said in Romans 6, particularly vv 11-14. When you said you believed Romans 7 'describes Paul's condition as a Jew, who wants to obey the Law of God, prior to his becoming a Christian', why do you believe that? Meredith |

16 | Love GOD - hate brother | 1 John 4:20 | mbooker | 75719 | ||
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 1 John 4:20 |

17 | Confession of sins | James 5:16 | mbooker | 75717 | ||

18 | Why seek healing for this flesh? | Phil 1:2 | mbooker | 75421 | ||
Good morning David!! When I read the title to your post, I thought you had taken ill and I was gearing up to share/remind you of scriputures dealing with healing (personal favorites of mine! :-) ) but then when I read your post... Sometimes (when depression tries to assualt me) I too wonder, why stay here in a world that seems to be getting worse and worse when there is something better - being with Christ... But then I sometimes feel like I am being selfish. After all, the Greater One lives in me and I am more than a conqueror thru Him that loves me and I am an overcomer. So no matter how dark it gets here, we are to let our light so shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven... You quote Paul's desire to depart. But he also said it was more needful for the Phillippians that he stay... Likewise, I am sure that your 'abiding' here with us is more needful for those you touch with the love of God :)... Another reason to seek healing for our flesh is because our bodies are His temple... as we take proper care of our bodies, we are taking proper care of His temple... I know you will bless the Lord at all times... I will join you... Your Sister Meredith |

19 | Does this include holding fast to His | Heb 4:14 | mbooker | 75410 | ||

20 | I need verses on why we need God's Word. | NT general Archive 1 | mbooker | 74946 | ||
Psalm 19:7-11 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. |
