1 | 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 |

3 | ...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I know that my ignorance is only superceded by my love of God and His Word, so will someone please try to put the following into the correct perspective for me?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 |

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 |

7 | Just wondering about your wandering | 1 John 2:2 | GeorJoy | 101115 | ||
Jehonadab. I have noticed that you seem to pick and choose which questions others ask of you, you will answer. Then you follow up with a wordy scroll that would boar and confuse the most learned lawyor. What is your purpose? What is your logic? What is your belief, or disbelief? Do you have a purpose, logic, belief or disbilief, or do you simply love to fill your screen with senceless babble? Just wan-der-ing Not wondering; waaandering George |

8 | "a thorn in the side"? or Not? | 1 John 2:2 | GeorJoy | 100602 | ||
George appears "to stress God's wrath in his witnessing!" Forgive me, but I must ask, "Please elaborate." I have many areas of weakness. This is one some would call "a thorn in the side." One I have given much thought and prayer to. Is this truly the way I depict myself? Do I not "state His Word as it is written, and then try to explain it to those who either do not understand, or simply do not agree with what it says?" To Love is the greatest commandment. Yet, isn’t it important to know of the wrath that comes to the disobedient. All constructive comments are welcomed. Not perfect yet, but In Christ George |

10 | 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 |

11 | 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 |

12 | 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 |

13 | 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 |

14 | 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 |

15 | 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 |

16 | Why so blind? | 1 Cor 13:12 | GeorJoy | 91441 | ||
I know the answer is in scripture, but I can't put my finger on it. My questions are as follows; 1) Why do people who (appear) to be sincere twist the true meaning of scripture? If possible, I would prefer scriptural quotes as an answer, ie "KJV Mar 4:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand," with limited paraphrases, devoid of OPINION. 2) Is the entire bible as a parable to some, or only portions that they choose not to accept? Or is it as is said in Ecc 3:1 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven," to include understanding as well? George |

17 | 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 |
||||||
18 | 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 |

19 | Big mouthed Christian, or no? | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89993 | ||
If I weren't to accept your apology, then I couldn't ask you to accept mine, which I do, for you have just described one of my biggest faults as well... And my feelings are as yours, for this is not the way I wish to be perceived Oddly enough, this past Wednesday, just prior to services, our preacher was telling how he wanted to rebuke someone evangelizing at another preachers church which he was visiting, but for the sake of the other preacher, he didn't. Our associate preacher hadn't heard what the preacher said before the service. In his sermon, the associate preacher delivered something to this affect; " Everyone worries about hurting someone’s feelings. If what they are doing is against Gods word, then it is a Christians (duty) to inform them of Gods word, whether it hurts their feelings or not." This is what (I, George) have read in the word. Some would say that one preacher had contradicted or rebuked the other. I see no contradiction. I do see something therein that could almost be referred to as rebuke in the associates message. However, I simply can't say. What are your feelings, thoughts and scriptural foundations for such, on this matter? I invite anyone who is "Spiritually Mature" to respond this question. Please, back up whatever you "State as fact," with scripture (NOT an interpretation thereof.) If it is opinion, forgive me, but I'm simply not interested. Yes, I am BLUNT. Sometimes too blunt. I normally get the attention of others though; with my "cave man" method. I like to think of it as the same method used by John the Baptist. Of course, he lost his head over it. Paul was hated by many. And he was not as blunt as I. They both lost their lives because of their mouths. Wouldn't you say that some have to be hit hard to get their attention? My posts seem to hit many very hard. I doubt that any will die due to my posts, but hopefully some will live due to what they may have learned therein. Medicine does not often taste good, but it is a necessary tool for healing, if and only if the person taking it takes it as it was intended, NOT, as in their opinion it was intended. As the Doctor prescribed! I'm not the Doctor. I'm not even the Nurse. I am only one who delivers the medicine. If the patient doesn’t like my method of delivery, does that mean that he should not take the medicine? I’d say, it’s his health! If he don’t like me, let him get someone else. There are those who do like me. God gave me this big mouth of mine. He also gave me scripture, and if He can't use my big mouth combined with His word, to His benefit, then He AIN't GOD! But HE IS! AND I pray that He will. I also pray that if it is His will, which I believe it is, He will teach me how to control it and when to (and not to) open it!!! And anyone who would agree with that on my part, should ponder for themselves as well. Lord, help us all! cuz here we go again... George |

20 | Scriptural reference to Book of Jasper? | 1 Thess 4:17 | GeorJoy | 89893 | ||
Which Translation are you using Ed? I only found 7 references to "jasper" in my KJ. They all related to the jasper stone. None to a "book of jasper." Did I miss something somewhere? EX 28:20; EX 39:13; Eze 28:13; Rev 4:3; Rev 22:11; Rev 21:18; Rev 21:19. George |
