2 | new convert takes soil to hometown | 2 Kin 5:17 | KatieK | 84415 | ||
There is a NT passage that refers to a new convert to Christ who is a soldier or servant of a king. One of his duties was to help his king kneel down before his god. I think the new convert took some of the soil back to his home town and asked (probably Peter or Paul I think) for God's forgiveness for kneeling before an idol with his king. Does anyone know the passage please? Cheers KatieK |

5 | deceive even the elect | Ezek 34:1 | KatieK | 81336 | ||
Thanks EdB, I was thinkinhg more about praying scripture and for things that are hidden, Not about particular people or church. Matthew 24:24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect–if that were possible. I am learning that what I see is not always the truth. What appears good on the outside can be deceiving about what is on the inside. From time to time we pray the passage in Ezekiel about the dry bones...... obviously we are praying for the dried up spirits of the army who are battered and worn by the world. In a sense there is a sense of stirring up trouble, but is there a safer way to stir up trouble than by the Word of God and asking Him to expose what is hidden? KK |

7 | irresponsible shepherds and fat sheep | Ezek 34:1 | KatieK | 81313 | ||
My question relates to Ezekiel 34: 1-24 and beyond. The passage talks about irresponsible shepherds not caring for the flock. Do you think the OT is a reflection of our times? There is a lot of scripture where God uses His prophets to tell the people what they are doing wrong and setting His people on the right track. These days I either hear "You wicked sinner repent and ask for forgiveness", or " We are so special we have won the victory....". I have seen many people hurt by both sieds. I am becoming involved in a prayer ministry within my church and wondering the appropriateness of praying and confessing such things as the sheperds and fat sheep referred to in the Ezekiel passage. I feel presumptous to think such leaders and Christaian could exist in my church - the folk are so lovely and the church appears so healthy. I would not consider praying such a prayer for others unless I place myself at the top of the list for exposure.... I'd value comments that relate the Ezekiel passage to today's Christain life. |

8 | shekina glory | Jer 7:18 | KatieK | 80567 | ||
Please excuse my lack of knowledge and understanding - I come from a very fundamentalist teaching and am thinking that I have only been taught half the story of the triune God. I have recently heard reference of God's Shekina glory. Is that what you are referring to? ".......The Christian understanding or rather its mutation of the original view of God has the shekhina replaced by "Holy Spirit"......" Can you explain this a bit more please? | ||||||
