1 | All you need is love? | 1 John 2:3 | Asis | 216888 | ||
I was busy also. I hope everything is all right. So I don't have to follow all the commands God gave in the Old Testament? I don't have to tithe praise God. If there was a phrase that could sum up all the commands of the United States, like the first is, "Don't hurt any body" and the second is, "Live free". Would that negate all the laws on the books? | ||||||
2 | abide | 1 John 2:3 | Asis | 216885 | ||
To abide means to stay or remain. So to abide in Christ is to remain or stay in Him. The next logical question would be how do we get "in Him". We get in Him 1 Corinthians 1:30 (Weymouth NT) But you — and it is all God’s doing — are in Christ Jesus: He has become for us a wisdom which is from God, consisting of righteousness and sanctification and deliverance; If I have this right then God is the one who placed me in Christ and if I remain or stay in Him (by choice) I should walk as He walked. According to the Gospels He walked uprightly following the LORD's commands all His commands. Neither turning to the right or the left. It seems to me that this is how we should walk to walk as He walked. Does that make any sense? |
||||||
3 | Walk as He walked | 1 John 2:3 | Asis | 216872 | ||
Is it really that simple? What about 1 John 2:6. It seems John is saying that if we abide in Him then we will/should walk as He walked. Isn't the walk of Jesus walking in all the commands of God? Isn't Jesus God's commands in the flesh? | ||||||
4 | Do what He did | 1 John 2:3 | Asis | 216869 | ||
What does it mean, "if we keep His commandments"? | ||||||
5 | Where are the gifts in the church | 1 Cor 12:1 | Asis | 210955 | ||
How would you suggest that we turn that around? Why is it the gifts are not flowing in the church? | ||||||
6 | Should the gifts be ordinary | 1 Cor 12:1 | Asis | 210935 | ||
Brad and Tim thank you for your answers. They were very helpful. Do you think that the Gifts of the Spirit are for the benefit of the body of Christ? That is my take on 1 Corinthians 12. It seems Jesus is saying that the operation of the Gifts of the Spirit should not be an extraordinary event. Every part of the body running on all eight cylindars, performing their function for the performance of the body. If this is so, then the is health of the body dependant on the working of these gifts within the body (local church)? | ||||||
7 | Am I ignorant | 1 Cor 12:1 | Asis | 210930 | ||
How do I know that the Spirit is the originator of the Gifts of the Spirit in my life? For example, if I have a word of knowledge for someone how do I know it is from God? | ||||||
8 | No one | 1 John 3:6 | Asis | 109885 | ||
Can someone please explain this verse from 1 John 3 in relation to 1 John 1:9. Aren't the words in the Amplified that are in brackets []commentary? By the way where is Radioman2? Does any one know? I haven't read anything from him for a while. Asis |

9 | True or False | 1 Corinthians | Asis | 102913 | ||
True or False To know things in our intuition is what the bible calls revelation. Revelation - The Holy Spirit enables a believer to apprehend a particular matter by indicating the reality of it to his spirit. There is but one kind of knowledge concerning either the Bible or God which is valuable, and that is the truth revealed to our spirit by God’s Spirit. God does not explain Himsself via man’s reasoning; never does man come to know God through rationalization. If there is no revelation, personal revelation, Christianity is worth nothing. Everyone who believes God must have this revelation in his spirit, or else what he believes is not God but mere human wisdom, ideals or words. Such a faith cannot endure the test.

10 | God's or ours | Matt 28:18 | Asis | 101282 | ||
Ray We have been born again by beliving God. Our spirit, our inner man, has been reborn by the Holy Spirit. Our spirit has been made perfect, complete again . . . RE generation. The Spirit of God and our spirit are in union. They work as one. When God tells us to do something it is through this union that the action is relayed. Our spirit communicates with our mind will and emotions, our soul. Our soul moves our body to talk, lay hands, pray, etc., complete the action. If we walk by the power of our soul rather than the power of our spirit (Holy Spirit power) then whose action is it? God's or ours? |

11 | Crucify the flesh | NT general Archive 1 | Asis | 100586 | ||

12 | A gift. For ME | John 3:21 | Asis | 100484 | ||
God 's word is true. He is not a man that He would lie, He does not repent, if He said it it is true, if He said He would do it it is done. Right? Why then is it so hard to believe that what the word says about us is reality. We are crucified with Christ. Our old man was crucified with Christ. We have been raise with Christ in newness of life. We are a new creation. Jesus is the last adam and the second man. We are to reckon (account) ourselves dead to sin. We are sons and daughters of God, joint heirs with Christ. We have the same power in us that raised Christ from the grave. We can do all things through Christ which strengthens us. We have been given ALL things that pertain to life and godliness. We have been placed IN CHRIST by God. He transfered us from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of His Son. By the promises given to us we might (shall) be partakers of the divine nature. Jesus has destroyed Him who had power over death. Resist the devil and he will flee. There is no condemnation to those who are IN CHRIST. We are the righteousness of God. We don't have guilt and shame any more. We have been made white as snow. There is no temptation that comes upon us that is unique to us, greater than we can handle and that an escape is made available to us. We are washed, we are sanctified, we are justified in the name of Jesus and the Spirit of God. There is more and more that is true about the condition of the believer yet we don't believe? Doesn't the truth make you free? Didn't the Son make you free? If we are saved why do we go out of our way to not be. Can't we accept this free gift? |

13 | Tell me Whyyyyyyy | Bible general Archive 2 | Asis | 99194 | ||
The Scriptures declare that we are “dead indeed”, but nowhere do they say that we are dead in ourselves. We shall look In vain to find death within; that is just the place where it is not to be found. We are dead not in ourselves but in Christ. We were crucified with Him because we were in Him. We are familiar with the words of the Lord Jesus, “Abide in Me, and I in you” (John 15:4). Let us consider them for a moment. First they remind us once again that we never have to struggle to get into Christ. We are not told to get there, for we are there; but we are told to stay where we have been placed. It was God’s own act that putus in Christ, and we are to abide in Him. But further this verse lays down for us a divine principle, which is that God has done the work in Christ and not in us as individuals. The all inclusive death and the all inclusive resurrection of God’s Son were accomplished fully and finally apart from us in the first place. It is the history of Christ which is to become the experience of the Christian, and we have no spiritual experience apart from Him. The Scriptures tell us that we were crucified “with Him,” that we were quickened, raised, and set by God in the heavenlies Iin Him,” and that we are complete “in Him” (Rom 6:6; Eph 2:5-6; Col 2:10). If this is true then why are so many of us walking around trying to DO Christianity. What is it that prevents us from living the life God has all ready provided for us. Why don't we partake of the divine nature. How come we fill our minds with scripture but we don't let it affect our lives. Why do we argue about trivia when so many are suffering by not partaking what Jesus has all ready done? What do you think? |

14 | Why not sentences | Rev 22:18 | Asis | 97009 | ||
Scripture is laid out ion verses. This was done by someone after the Bible was complete. Why aren't the verses laid out in the incremental units of language called sentences. Some are complete sentences some are not. How can we get the meaning of a scripture without looking at the whole sentence that contains it. Is there a reason that scripture is broken up the way it is or was it abritrarily done? In a recent post Philip. 2:6-8 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [KJV] But the sentence begins with verse 5 . .. .Philip. 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: [KJV] When this portion of the writers thought is included, doesn't it affect the meaning of the whole? I was just wondering why the bible is broken down in the way it is instead of sentences. Webster Dictionary says of a sentence. 4 a : a word, clause, or phrase or a group of clauses or phrases forming a syntactic unit which expresses an assertion, a question, a command, a wish, an exclamation, or the performance of an action, that in writing usually begins with a capital letter and concludes with appropriate end punctuation, and that in speaking is distinguished by characteristic patterns of stress, pitch, and pauses b : a mathematical or logical statement (as an equation or a proposition) in words or symbols. So why not split the Bible up into complete thoughts instead of partial thoughts? Anybody know why? |

15 | It all comes down to the Word of faith | Rom 10:8 | Asis | 93242 | ||
Does this passage mean that the apostle Paul was a word of faith preacher? We must take God's word to be true on Faith. Yet I wonder if we live life as if God's word is true. God has given us ALL Things. However a great many of us live struggling. We are overcomers. Sons and Daughters of God but we live like we are the offspring of the down trodden. We have the access to victory in life, every aspect of life because we have ALL THINGS through Him. ALL THINGS have been made subject to Him and we are in Him. Do we live as one who has dominion over their life? Do we know who we are? Have we died with Christ and now live for God or is there still some of US hanging around doing stuff. Do we believe what God has said He has done or are we determined to do it OUR WAY. Think about it. Are we atuggling to do something that God has already done? How much of the word in the New Testament is written in the past tense or the aorist tense? Let Go and Let God Ref: Rom 8:14,33 Rom 11:36 1 Cor 15:27,28 1 Cor 1:30 Rom 6:6 Gal 2:20 Gal 5:24 Gal 6:14 |

17 | Who are YOU? | Rom 3:3 | Asis | 86466 | ||
Recently there has been found a box which was used to contain the bones of dead jews. This box was from the time of Jesus. The Jews would place the dead in a tomb and after a year (when all the flesh had rotted away from the bones) they would gather the bones and place them in a box of stone. The body's final resting place. On the box would be an inscription telling who was inside. This box has an inscription saying James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus. It has created quite an uproar in the religous world. The religous scholars would love to be able to ask the bones, "Who are you?" The answer would identify the person in the box. What would the answer be? What would your answer be? Who are you? If you were asked, "who are you?" what would your answer be. Who are you, mommapbs, justme, morant61, Hank, prazn, goodnewsminister, Ebd, Radioman2, Graceful, scribe, Emmaus, all of the forumites. What is your answer? Have you ever thought about who you are? Who are you? |

19 | What is the Gospel Jesus preached | 1 Cor 15:1 | Asis | 85753 | ||
Right on Radioman2 BUT. . . We all talk about the Gospel of Jesus yet I wonder how many of us can say what it is. The Gospel of Jesus is . . . I want to preach, teach the gospel just like Jesus did. What did He preach? I know it is not what some have said it is, like Jehovah's Witness or the Morman's book of Morman. But that is not what we were told to preach, "the gospel is not . . ." Scripture says, Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. [KJV] Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. [KJV] Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. [KJV] Luke 4:43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. [KJV] Luke 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. [KJV] Luke 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. [KJV] Luke 10:9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. [KJV] Luke 12:31-32 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. [32] Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. [KJV] Acts 1:3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: [KJV] Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. [KJV] Acts 19:8 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. [KJV] Acts 20:25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. [KJV] Acts 28:23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. [KJV] Acts 28:31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him. [KJV] Scripture is quite clear on what Jesus and the disciples, and the apostles preached. I find it most enlightening how the book of Acts ends Acts 28:30-31 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, [31] Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him. [KJV] Preaching the Kingdom of God and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ . . . All the rest of what we say is interesting but it doesn't draw people to the Lord. They want what we have - the kingdom of God. |

20 | Us or them, for now or dead with Apostle | John | Asis | 85130 | ||
Is Jesus talking to us? John 20:21 through John 20:23 (NASB) 21So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said* to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23“If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.” |
