1 | no patience and abrasive... | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93261 | ||
In New Creatures note # 92815, an article was quoted concerning the Church. Anyone who has been in this world, and not totally blind to The Church, for any length of time, they would have to agree. Perhaps I am at the very least, a little overly self judgmental, but I can’t help but to get the feeling that though I quote scripture in its purest form, I am abrasive to many. I have very little, or no patience when it comes to deception where the Living Word of God is concerned. Although I will not be swayed in the Word or on the meaning thereof, I would like to hear some honest and sincere spiritual thoughts of those whom have taken the time to read my posts. Not on the subject matter thereof, nor the views of scriptural interpretation, but on my method of my delivery. Brothers in Christ George |

4 | What would you like to be doing when...? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 102166 | ||
What would you like to be doing when Christ comes? I would like to be witnessing. Imagine; to be standing there professing the Grace of God to lost soul, and then..... to look up and shout "there He is!".... and then... to be gone in the blink of an eye. In Christ George |

5 | Why does NIV OMIT verses in KJV? | Bible general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 86402 | ||
I love my NIV. I also feel that it is a truly inspired revision of the word and that the Lord led me to it. However, my faith in this particular version was just jolted when I was reading the book of Acts and discovered with the help of my "Henry Comentary" that it OMITS verses that are in the KJV. Specifically Acts 8:37. If as I have determined from my research, this is due to the dateline of the manuscripts, why is the OMITTED verse number simply skiped over, ie 35 36 38 rather than continued in numerical sequence? |

6 | Just a thought. What's yours? | NT general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 102452 | ||
Just a thought… What is the church? Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. It is; People in a community environment. It is; People worshiping. It is; People loving one another, sharing Christ. It is; People evangelizing. From his book “Spiritual Gifts,” I quote B. E. Underwood. The tendency to drift and to loose certain vital emphases makes it absolutely necessary that there be prophets to speak the Word of God to His church in every age. Who recognizes the prophets when they stare them in the face? I contend that, though perhaps not legally, yet biblically, The Bible Study forum can be classified as a church. Every church needs a Pastor Teacher, a Shepherd. I would like to think that herein we could consider our Lord and Savior as just that; our Shepherd, pastor and teacher of The Bible Study Forum Church over the Internet. Scripturally denominated, believers of the Word. One should pray that our Lord will give us patience to accept the diversity of people in our church, that together we would make up a group strong enough to serve God in any way… Just a thought. What's yours? George |

7 | ...liars, shall have their part in.... | 1 Sam 21:1 | GeorJoy | 102304 | ||
I know that my ignorance is only superceded by my love of God and His Word, so will someone please try to put the following into the correct perspective for me? I was reading in 1 Samuel chapter 21, when the following thought occurred to me. Our Lord says concerning liars; Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a --liar, and the father of it.-- And in Pro 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: Pro 6:17 A proud look, a ---lying tongue,--- and hands that shed innocent blood, And Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all ---liars,--- shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. In no way is the sin of lying upheld in scripture. Yet there are occurrences therein where the individual tells “what appears” to be a blatant lie, and is either blessed for the action, or there is simply no more mention of it. My thanks in advanced for your biblically based, Spirit filled explination. In Christ George |

8 | To be led by the Spirit, or castrated? | Matt 5:22 | GeorJoy | 89274 | ||
Searcher In your response to "What is "Moral Law?", you stated, "I also think following the "law of Christ" is tougher." My question is "why." Didn't Jesus simply command us to " Love your neighbor as yourself." Isn't this the command that replaced the ten commandments? I would say that having the laws written on ones heart in the first place, if a person follows Jesus' command to Love your neighbor as yourself; learning to listen to, and therefor to be led by the spirit, would be the most dificult thing for those who have not truly received the spirit. If one follows this command, will they not follow the 10 commandments? by doing so. Didn't Paul say to the Galatians concerning the those who were advocating the law and insisting on the circumcision of the beleivers, "As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate (CASTRATE) themselves"? NIV Gal 5:12 Your response noted suggests to me that you think it is easier to follow the law than to Live by the Spirit. Just curious. |

9 | adultrus marriage, a "marriage" in Gods | Matt 5:31 | GeorJoy | 93114 | ||
Thank you DAIRYLEADER5, but please be careful stating such truths herein. You will become "fair game." Your words will be twisted, even though they may be direct quotes from scripture. Would you say "scripturally" that an adultrus marriage falls in the category of a "marriage" in Gods eyes? George George |

10 | Down to the meat of scripture. | John 9:31 | GeorJoy | 94037 | ||
EdB your wisdom concerning Gamaliel’s advice is very enlightening. However, how would you explain John 9:31 “Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.” I agree that God must hear the prayer of the sinner when he repents. And I know that “(all things) work together for the good of them that love the Lord.” The repentant sinner has seen the error of his way and has come to repentance for the love of the Lord. I want to agree with you wholeheartedly, but I haven’t gotten past the mote in my eye where John 9:31 is concerned. I am familiar with Balaam’s story as well, and you bring out a very thought provoking point, what some would consider a contradiction, but what you and I know is fact, not contradiction, (whether we understand it or not.) Please help me with this, EdB. For it is a deep and meaty subject. Thanks George |

11 | Truth, understandin or Faith in the word | John 9:31 | GeorJoy | 94080 | ||
I know what you are saying Ed, but do you not think that the verse could be meant literally, "God heareth not sinners," and as I said earlier that the sinner who is sincerely repentant, and coming to Jesus for salvation is no longer a sinner in the moment prior to salvation, Or that there is another truth of which we are not aware? I'm sure you agree with me when I say that I am leary of those, (myself included) when we tend to label a bible author as "prejudice." For many have said that Paul was a (I couldn't spell this word if my life depended on it, so I will put it phonetically) Sho-vin-ist. If scripture isn't true to the letter, then it is untrue in all..... I will admit that there is a lot therein that I simply do not understand. But I will refrain from calling an apple an orange, if I don't know the particular variety of apples in question. George |

12 | What scripture quotes name of "beloved d | John 21:20 | GeorJoy | 91443 | ||
I also have heard that John was "the disciple whom Jesus loved," however the scripture you quote only says that Peter "saw the disciple whom Jesus loved." This has sparked a topical study on my part. If I can find this post, I will note the exact scripture when found. I'm sure that with the spirit that there is in this forum, someone else will beat me to the draw, for I am currently on vacation. Not from the word. From the daily grind. George |

14 | Having yet not knowing one has | Romans | GeorJoy | 90042 | ||
Can one have recieved the Holy spirit and not know? I think so, but have no scriptural foundation. I know that "if understanding came before acceptance, we would accept very little in this life." However, one often accepts without understanding, even though he desires to understand, and that this is a hinderence at the very least. Please provide such foundation (not thoughts or opinion,)pro or con. George |

15 | Holy (GHOST) Received but not Realized? | Romans | GeorJoy | 90158 | ||
My question was, and is as follows; Can one have received the Holy (GHOST) and not know? I have yet to come to a conclusion based on scripture. I mean no offence to anyone but, I prefer a response from one who has experianced the utterance of toungs. I invite NO debate on toungs, the Holy Spirit, or anything other than the question presented herein. George |

16 | Megiddo, do I understand you correctly? | Rom 1:19 | GeorJoy | 91890 | ||
We "Christians" (and, I might add anyone else who has professed Christ, confessed and repented,) are forgiven, for as it says in Rom 8:1; There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Not according to what? what? Did it say "flesh?" So, in answer to one of your previous questions; NO. We who are saved have no sin. For we are washed in the Blood of Jesus, and though our sins were as crimson, they are now whiter than snow; it is made as though we have not sined by the One who is capiable of making those things which were, those things which were not. (I have pariphrase, but it is in the Word.) Megiddo, do I understand you correctly? Are you asking; 1) Can a homosexual be saved and continue that lifestyle? 2) Can a homosexual "repent" and be saved? 3) Why can't homosexuals be welcomed with opened arms? 4) All of the above George |

17 | Are we Stupid or Lazy? Our Soul at stak | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89280 | ||
I see so many questions here. I am gratefull for them for they make me think and research. What I simply don't understand is WHY there are so many LAZY people where the WORD of God is concerned. It is ones MORTAL SOUL at Stake. Why do people ALWAYS turn to people for the interpritation of Gods word? Surely in this country today, bibles are readily available to everyone who has a desire to have one. Oh, but I don't understand what I read? Are you Stupid? 1 a : slow of mind : OBTUSE b : given to unintelligent decisions or acts : acting in an unintelligent or careless manner c : lacking intelligence or reason : Or are you simply Lazy? not easily aroused to activity. LAZY suggests a disinclination to work or to take trouble *convenience foods for lazy cooks*. INDOLENT suggests a love of ease and a settled dislike of movement or activity *the heat made us all indolent*. SLOTHFUL implies a temperamental inability to act promptly or speedily when action or speed is called for *fired for being slothful about filling orders*. If one reads the word they will learn that they will eventually learn it. So why can we not learn from the experiances of others? Just wondering... George |

18 | Judgement or Discernment? | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89304 | ||
I thought this was a serious question and answer forum. My appologies. Instead of the word you, I meant to use "we." I simply asked a question that was designed to make people think about where they should go to get answers to questions concerning (their) eternal soul. Where I hope those who post answers herein go or have gone before. If asking a question designed to get people into the word of God is "Judgement," I am guilty and make no defence. This is a question I wish someone would have asked me long ago, for if I had only known then of all the False Prophets in "brothers, sisters and preachers clothing.... " What percentage of todays Evangelists, TV and Radio preachers AND churches invite or challenge the congrigation to study the word for themselves? Thank God, There are many. However, anyone who does not live in a dream world would surely agree that there are more that do not than do. A person has to have a discerning spirit to tell them apart. Discernment. Judgement. Look them up. There is a fine line between these two words, but there is a difference. If truth is a stumbling block, I make no appologies. If bluntness is a stumbling block, I have only spoken the truth. If, and only IF I am wrong, I appologize. May the Lord and whoever I have caused to stumble forgive me. HERE IS THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. KJV 1Co 2:14 Here is what I was trying say to the carnally minded: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. KJV 2Ti 2:15 George |

19 | Putting 2 and 2 together | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89411 | ||
It's almost funny. My carnal desire is to say "yea, I know that." But the truth of the matter is that I didn't. Even though I did have all the facts. I simply hadn't put them together as you did. Thank you my friend. George |

20 | You took a wrong turn somewhere.. | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89415 | ||
Justme I believe you may have missed the road all together. Somewhere in your having read this thread, you have missed or misread the roadsigns, and gotten onto a different route all together. Re-read EdB's first response. Then re-read "HERE IS THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION" in my response to Mother Superior. I made a "note" somewhere in this thread. Re-read that one too. I once read that a parable tests the "spiritual receptiveness" of the hearer. (I intend no offence to anyone.) As of this morning when I last checked, EdB has been the only receptive responder to this thread. George |
