1 | Who is Israel? | Ex 23:25 | yayatheresa | 146791 | ||
What scripture do you give to support your stand here and in your response to me? If I am counted in the sight of God as Israel, or as scripture refers to me often, the seed of Abraham, then I can count this blessing as mine. I also have to meet the same condition that is given. I have to serve the Lord God. Your response to Mitch on this seemed convoluted to me. He in no way indicated that to receive the blessing you would not have to also meet the condition. The post by Moran61 said this Gal 3:29 is only about Jesus the seed . It doesn’t say that at all. It says if we be Christ’s (belong to Christ) then we are Abraham’s seed. And because we are Abraham’s seed we are HEIRS. You admit it says we are the children of promise but again I emphasize it doesn’t stop at that it says we are also heirs. I would like to know more about unconditional promises. The only thing I can think of right now is God’s love is unconditional and I also guess we can count God’s promise not to destroy the earth with water again. I am not disputing you on this but I would like scripture for your statement that I can learn from. I will also need you to tell me with scripture where the blessings of the Old Covenant stopped being in effect. Or if you consider any of it pertinent to us today what part? Lastly this may have to be my last post. I am one of those many would call “name it and claim it” “blab it and grab it” I highly esteem the teaching and ministries of Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin, and other ministries of this type. Do you consider their doctrine false and unorthodox Christianity? They teach what I am saying here and what Mitch seems to have been trying to say. If so I will obey the rules of the site moderators and leave in love. But you will not have a well balanced forum. :) Here are some of the scripture I stand on that tell me I am Abraham’s seed and heir of the blessings: Rom 2:28-29 “For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God” Rom 4:12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. Rom 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, Rom 9:6-8 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children but, In Isaac shall they seed be called. That is, they which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. Gal 3:26-29 For ye are the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bon nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Theresa |

2 | Satan a good guy? | 2 Cor 11:14 | yayatheresa | 146494 | ||
I know the KJV isn't what's used for this forum but in that version it says "Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light" I understand it to mean just what the NASB and Amplified say above. However in the area where my mother lives there is a man who calls himself a reverend and teaches that this means Satan is now a good angel and his angels are good angels. He says that the devil and satan are not the same. I know this is foolish doctrine, but I'm just wondering if it comes from someplace any of you are aware of. Some cult etc? Has anyone ever heard this teaching before? He also teaches that all the fallen angels are traveling back through us. They are the spirit we have in us and they are going through this life for a second chance at choosing Christ. Anybody ever heard this before? I can't remember the scripture he uses for this but I'll keep trying to. I am not concerned for my mom, but this man is very charasmatic and not a few of people I used to fellowship with when I lived there are following him now. Theresa |

3 | God sends maladies? | 1 Peter | yayatheresa | 146329 | ||
Doc, I'm not Mitch but I am curious to know the instances of God sending physical maladies you speak of. I might know what you are referring to but I'm not sure. Theresa |

4 | Well said | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146317 | ||
Well said. that is our individual goal. What about the goal for a ministry | ||||||
5 | Ministry of God? | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146303 | ||
You're right the city wasn't destroyed in 40 days. But it was destroyed. What would you give as the measure of a ministry ordained of God? | ||||||
6 | Still trying to understand | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146285 | ||
I am new to this process of having discussions over the internet. I have never done it before so could you explain why the author for that response listed in the thread is Searcher56? How can I be sure some other ID won't pop out when I post? | ||||||
7 | What's up Doc? | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146279 | ||
Doc did you write the response in this branch that says: Doc ... Thank you for you point.?? The author given in the branch is Searcher56. Or are you using 2 screen names? |

8 | What we mean by results | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146276 | ||
But didn't they have results in that what they prophesied came to pass? | ||||||
9 | Confused | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146275 | ||
Searcher now I am really confused!!! You were the one who used the text containing Gamaliel's statments. Now you discrediting them? Possibly they need to be because his were words though truly spoken are not necessarily truth. Our Bible contains statments by many who were ungodly and is another example of how we need to study and know who is saying a thing before we us it as a doctrinal truth. Reading back over how this all got started I see that Jirehway was making a very valid point in saying that the "results" of her ministry should stand on their own. Not whether or not God accomplished them through a man or a woman. Only that they were the work of God. Maybe I should clarify what I have meant by "results". (I cannot, of course, speak for Jirehway) I consider results the same as God does. "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." Mark 16:15-18 Jirehway has told us she has been in ministry for over 30 years. If during those 30 years noone had come to believe that God raised Jesus from the dead and confessed Him as Lord, then there could be some concern as to whether or not her ministry is of God. But on the basis of the results not on her gender. |

10 | Results DO matter | 1 Tim 2:12 | yayatheresa | 146251 | ||
I am very surprised at your statement "It also doesn't matter in the results..." Have you read where Jesus said "If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me , and I in him." John 10:37-38? What if Jesus had not had "results" in His ministry. Also Mark 16:20 :And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen". And Mark 16:17 "And these signs (results) shall follow them that believe...." This is God's litmus test as to who is a believer? Each of us should measure our believing by our results. They do matter. These are only a few of the scriptures for your consideration. Are you implying that the confirmation God has promised doesn't matter. If that were true wouldn't you be saying that it is the one who is most able to articulate their faith one should believe is correct? I have heard Buddhists and Muslims and many other non-christian followers that are very convincing. If you believe that results really do not matter then you are leaving the unbelieving and unlearned to make their choice according to who they hear and who makes the best verbal argument for their faith. God is wiser than that. He knew the enemy is cunning and that is why He confirms His Word with "results". I understand that Satan can do some signs also. And of course God does not support them. The magicians withstood Moses and his wonders for a time. But all they could do was create the same curse (to a point). They could not bless the Egyptians by removing the curse Moses brought. Read it yourself. I hope you will see. |
