1 | Take up another's offense or not? | Bible general Archive 4 | InGodITrust | 206151 | ||
Been searching for this verse, I use the NASB. Basically it says, "Do not take up the offense of another." Meaning, if a friend or relative etc. has suffered an offense against them then we are not to be offened (per-say) toward that individual. Not that we should not advise but do not "take up for them." We all have a tendency to be critical or be offended when someone we care about has been. Please help, I know I have seen the verse before. Thanks, InGodITrust |

Question: Hello, You old timers probibly thought I went away ..and maybe hoped I would.. for good! Hi Cheri... Got a good question, one that I need the help on; Been introduced to Team National. A Multilevel marketing company...PROBLEM! After much research I have settled many questions concerning the value of their membership. The cost, a whopping 2195.00 Knowing full well, although I can't put my finger on many of the verses, God warns us about making money the easy way, which I'm not. Problem; The concept is one of a co-op which will entitle me to savings on many purchases over the years. Depending on how much I spend (another Biblical issue)will reflect how soon I get my money back. I will have to borrow the 2195.00 but am promiced by my sponsor that I will get my money back within a week or two if my referals buy into the program with their 2195.00 (on my recommendation) Although their discounted purchasing program seems o.k. it is the assurance of my... money back... and the possibility that I will make money off my referals which means if they too sell their friends into the program (and of course they too may have to borrow the money)that I would (could) be responsible for leading many (personally) into this whole scheme. O.K... So, I feel uneasy about the Pure Biblical Idea of such a scenerio. I am not looking for an easy buck or a get rich quick deal but have spiritual reservations about involving others (Love your neighbor as yourself)in such a... borrow to save... and then a get your friends to do likewise ...situation. Please......just mature SOLID Biblical advise. I have more than enough common sense to see the red flags if they truly due exist. InGodITrust |

5 | Are they......"was"....or...."is?" | 2 Cor 5:8 | InGodITrust | 188735 | ||
Friends on the Forum, I thought many of you would be enlighted by some recent thoughts I have had due to my recent loss. Please understand I only post this to help others understand what one goes through when loosing their mate. I think this copy of an e-mail to a friend on the forum is beneficial. I pray with all my heart that my loss will be used for the glory of God and helpful to others. So........here goes..... Glad you liked it. Tell me, sounds like you are a single mom with one child? I am 59 with two sons at home from my marriage with Teena. Which is easier, girls or boys? Are you kidding, I partially raised two girls, they were adorable.....wonderful.......amazing........Boys? They are.......boys!!!!.........both so much like their mother and yet full of it just like their dad!!! They both were...(are)... exceptionally close to their mom. My youngest Daren just calls her mom;(my oldest son Derek most ofton referred to her as Maa'dray) notice I talk in the present not the past tense. For the most part, as a Christian, our loved ones who have graduated, are still in the present tense. My wife may have "gone home" but she is still their mom and my wife. You can't imagine how repeatedly I have to talk about her or deal with legal and business issues over and over. They say, "what was her name;" I reply, "her name.....is......Teena." She is not a...was...she is a...is." Now, she "was" here on earth but for all practical purposes, especially since now with God and an eternal "person" she is "away at the moment" but all of her will continue to be "eternally in the present tense." Please don't misunderstand as I am not angry or frustrated but Christians now with Christ are eternally present and not past..............wow.........good thought right? Blessing, Rick InGodITrust |

6 | Contact CDBJ? | Bible general Archive 3 | InGodITrust | 188673 | ||

7 | What is the context of 1 Timothy 6:3 | 1 Tim 6:3 | InGodITrust | 188195 | ||
M.Royal, I have been looking at all the responses you've gotton since your initial question. I think they and perhaps you have strayed from the context of 1 Timothy 6:3....... Secondly, do you have a specific question regarding the context of 1 Tim 6:3? The context of 1 Tim 6:3 is basically the first two verses. This has to do with Christian respect and obedience to our (today) employers since none of us today are slaves. Verse three would say to us today to obey and loyally respect our employer as if we are serving Christ. The warning in 1 Timothy chapter six is not to pay attention to false teachers who would tell us, or give us, teaching that goes against what Christ taught regarding or service to those in charge or over us. As far as other verses related to "the doctrine of Christ," these have to do with His deity or Lordship in salvation. With regards to all the teachings of the Apostles, as others have indicated (especially in our day and age) your "best foot forward" is all God would ask of you or any of us. Is all the various doctrines taught today confusing and many misleading? "What an understatment!" As others have indicated, the Holy Spirit and much prayer is all that is required. God is not asking us to fret over whether or not "all our doctrines are PERFECT." If you are His child, He will lead you and does not require all you know and do to be "flawless." Hope this helps, did not intend to get in the middle of all this, but when trying to understand Scripture it's "context, context, context." Let me know, InGodITrust |

10 | Michael ; Isarael's protector? | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188044 | ||
Mark, You missed my post to you as Searcher56 responded. I just got through going over a very interesting web page that you may want to look at. I had never thought of Michael the arc angel as being the restrainer. I think we (all) have misunderstood who or what the restrainer is or does. Since we are discussing the "the tribulation" and Michael has always been Israel's protector (of sorts) then it may make perfect Biblical sense that if he (Michael) withdraws his protection Israel will be vunerable. As we know Isreal "is front and center" during the tribulation and the fore front of Satanic attack. Something to think about. Check out this web site: http://endtimepilgrim.org/restrainer.htm It appears the web site is sponsored by Messianic Jews......or friends thereof. I found it very interesting in light of what you said the genders of "he" are in 2 Thess 2:7. As I said, we gentiles may have thought of the restrainer "in a general way," while the Jews and tribulation days are clearly in the spot light (144,000); God's climax with Israel prior to the 1000 millennial reign. What do ya think? InGodITrust |

11 | Withdrawn or taken out of the way? | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188041 | ||
Searcher, Guess it depends on what version of the Bible you are reading?? What is the difference, withdrawn or taken out of the way? Are they not one and the same? Still here...... InGodITrust |
||||||
12 | Please clarify............?? | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188036 | ||
Searcher, You got me, please give references for both? I am not sure (at all) what your question is. Waiting for your reply..... InGodITrust |

13 | Who is the restrainer? | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188032 | ||
Greetings Mark, Always appreciate what you have to say. Have you given much thought to (possibly) the restrainers activity all throughout history? Maybe this is just something I have contimplated. In light of what scriptures say, the tremendous evil that abides in all of men's hearts, do you think "the restrainer" has been at work all along? I have thought quite a bit about this. I believe (just an opinion based on what I've seen) the restrainer has been at work since the fall. I truly think that mankind would have readily destroyed each other long ago. I think God has, all along, restrained the evil in mankind. Therefore, leading into the "great tribulation," where the evil intents of man's heart will run wild, that God will withdraw His restraining. This accounts for the tremendous evil and chaos that will persue. Therefore, the church, meaning each individual believer, each one possessing the Holy Spirit, that now God withdraws His holy (us) presents from this world to judge it like never before. Thus whatever or whoever is "the restrainer" would naturally need to be "withdrawn." What-do-you-think? InGodITrust |

14 | Can you lose your salvation? | Eph 1:13 | InGodITrust | 187878 | ||
Tim, Greetings, I am new to the forum. I am having a hard time figuring out where all this started? However, I would like to make one comment about those you listed in history as men of God who supported free will. Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria, Athenagoras of Athens, Irenaeus, and Justin Martyr. Have you personally looked into what all these guys believed and taught? Not to mention they are (all) Catholic? Don't get me wrong Christian Catholics that are born again, I am not addressing. From the conservative history I have read about, those guys don't make the list. Just a thought............? God's speed Tim, InGodITrust |
