1 | Who wrote the King James Version? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93009 | ||
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. King James sent out 47 scollars back in 1611 to compile the various original "scrolls." They compiled the KJV and translated it into "that days terminology," which was and is perfect English.

2 | How to "win the world" ? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93248 | ||
Mommapbs, are you from this country? Or are you simply noting a broader field of vision on your part. Surely you are not like myself, for I have only within the past year started going to Church on a regular basis. Such as you have noted kept me out of the House of God for the majority of my life. Even though I knew that the word warns not to forsake the assembly, I felt before that I just didn't fit the mold; that I didn't conform to the old fashioned way, and that I could be just as good a Christian without Church as long as I continued in the word. When I finally started going to the House of God on a regular basis, I determined that I was there strictly for my spiritual nourishment, not for the people or to conform to their mold but for my "spiritual nourishment and preparation" to do what ALL CHRISTIANS "should" do; serve, witness, plant, and nourish the crop, in preparation for the harvest, which as many before me have also said, I believe the harvest surely must come soon. In my local Churchs, I first noticed that there is no “altar call.” Not as I remember it anyway. I now notice that even those whom I consider the most spiritually gifted preachers (in the pulpit,) appear to be “only doing a job.” After normal working hours (Church services,) there seems little in the department of leadership when a brother or sister needs and even requests such. I’m not saying that they don’t seem to be spiritually capable, just that there seems to be little sincere concern for the brethren, and much concern that they (the giver) will be stabed in the back. I should and will say that worldly conformity would eventually distroy the Church and make the true Christians rebels and outlaws, were it not for the fact that our Lord will reap the harvest before that happens. In Christ George |

OT quotes were based on the law. If we have accepted our Lord as Savior, we are no longer under the law. George |

4 | do you pay tithe on loan money | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93540 | ||
Scripture states that we should tithe all our "gain." Considering the fact that you are going to pay back a loan, it is not "gain." A gift, or earned interest would be gain, but not something borrowed. The very fact that you asked this question indicates that you are following the right path, that inner voice, the gut feeling, THE SPIRIT. I'd say that you already had a good idea what the correct answer was. If so, learn to follow that Spirit, "walk in the Spirit." You will NEVER go wrong if you do. God Bless |

5 | Must we observe the law of God? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93542 | ||
Bingo! If you follow the commandment Jesus gave in Mat 22:39, you will automatically adhear to the law. Think about it... Mat 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. |

6 | is it wrong to date or marry outside of | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 94401 | ||
Only in the OT. Then to the Jews. They were not to mary out to others who may have worshiped pagin Gods. There are no references to such in the NT. George |

7 | Sound Advise??? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 94989 | ||
It is refered to in scripture as "discernment." Per Mr W Discernment: the quality of being able to grasp and comprehend what is obscure : skill in discerning. If you know the word of God, you will likely have discernment. If you don't know the Word, you would be wise to learn it. If you know the word and do not have a Spirit of discernment, "ask and ye shall recieve." George |

9 | any preaching during satan's 1000 yrs | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 95525 | ||
Now that is really a good question. One that you will probably get many answers to. Be advised though that any answers you recieve will be purely opinion, for to my knowledge, scripture gives absolutely no details concerning the happenings durring this time frame. George |

11 | Why is "5" referred to as grace. | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 100223 | ||
At the risk of revealing my ignorance, I'd like to ask. If 7 means completion, then how could 8 mean a new beginning? It would seem that there would be no 8 if it is as you state. I'm sure that somewhere, somehow your question has a basis of validity. I'm really looking forward to finding out where and how. As to what the number 5 has to do with grace... Not that, I am really looking forward to finding out... I'll admit, I have yet to thoroughly "study" the entire Word, particularily the book of Revelations. I do remember various references to the number 2 as in "where two or mor are gathered in my name...," the number 3 as in the Trinity, the number"s" 6 as in the mark of the beast, and the number 7 as in the seven seals etc. This brings to mind another question. Yours is about 5; what about 4? Just pondering. I'm sure someone has a serious answer. I hope so anyway. I really want to see it. George |

12 | Will we have physical or spiritual bodie | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101106 | ||
What one "thinks" is of no value. What the Word says is of great value concerning this and any other subject one might think of. If you are interested in truth, ask and you will recieve. Otherwise, be careful of what others "think." George |

13 | Will suicide condem my soul to hell? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101513 | ||
Dear soul, was it not specified in the 10 commandments (Exo 20:13) that "Thou shalt not kill?" Is killing an unpardonable sin? No. Must we ask to receive forgiveness? Yes. Will a sin laden person enter the gates of heaven? No. If one kills himself, does he not commit sin by killing? Will that one receive forgiveness for that final sin? NO! They didn't get to ask. George |

14 | What is an Apostle? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101898 | ||
Per Mr Webster 1 : one sent on a mission: as a : one of an authoritative New Testament group sent out to preach the gospel and made up especially of Christ's 12 original disciples and Paul b : the first prominent Christian missionary to a region or group 2 a : a person who initiates a great moral reform or who first advocates an important belief or system b : an ardent supporter : ADHERENT 3 : the highest ecclesiastical official in some church organizations There are 3 levels of apostleship. (1)The apostleship of Christ. (2)That of the original 12 (3)The one that continues to this day as defined above. Keep in mind however that "all believers" are not blessed with the same gifts. One may be blessed with leadership, another prophesy, or the utterance of unknown toungs or interpritation thereof. Still yet, another may be blessed with the gift of serving others, or exortation. Whatever our gift, the discovery and the nurturing and development thereof is the responsibility of the individual and that individuals pastor who, if he is doing his job in accordance with the Word, fills the position as "shepherd" and "protector" to that individual. Too many pastors need to be reminded of this responsibility in the mannor that those recorded in the Word they supposedly preach, have been reminded. Exhorting in Christ George |

15 | MARK 16:16: Was it perverted? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101952 | ||
Jesus did say as you quoted, but it is also written, "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:" It did not say "to them that believe on his name and are baptized..." Baptism is a profession before "man" of ones faith. "A symbol." Not a necessity for salvation. The bible must be taken as a whole before one can glean the true wealth thereof. Not a bit here and a morsel there. This is the biggest downfall of the "so called Christian" today. IGNORANCE. If you listen close enough your "discernment" will tell you if these so called evangelists are false prophets or not, "for many will come in my name... but..." Your best defence to protect from a counterfeit is to know the original. And, I believe it has been said "the best offence is a good defence." So... How can one know the original? How can one defend their immortal soul? Simple.... Read and head 2Ti 2:15. In Christ George |

16 | Please I'm looking for your opinion! | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 102185 | ||
There is so much that could be added to these words that the many posts would not hold it all. Now... I would ask of those who would be the Lords Shepherds; Are we going to "just" sit on our ever expanding hind sides discussing it? What are we going to do about it? George |

17 | What is Docetism? Describe? | Bible general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 90318 | ||
An ignorant belief which was no more than heresy in early Christianity that Christ "only seemed" to have a human body and to suffer and die on the cross. Just another way to lead the ignorant away from the true Lord and Master. In not so many words, it is spoken of in the Word. KJV-Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; George |

19 | can musical instrument be used in church | Bible general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 90410 | ||
No, is it NOT against biblical principles to use musical instruments during worship services. As a mater of face; KJV Psa 150:4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Isa 38:20 The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD. George |

20 | if i get a christain tattoo is it sin? | OT general | GeorJoy | 92788 | ||
Consider this: Leviticus is one of the 5 books of the Law. Are we, who have accepted our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, under the Law? No. Personally, I George, feel that it is between the individual and the Lord. Keep in mind however that a tatto is perminant, (or nearly, anyway.) I have one. It is about 3 inches long and 2 inches wide. It is a crucifix on my left forearm, standing behind double hearts, with my wifes name therein. Would I do it again? Perhaps. I don't want to look like a coloring book though. Will it send me to Hell? NO! I defy anyone to prove "Scripturally" otherwise. "Nothing is a sin of itself." "Anything done to the excess is sin." (KJV)Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. However, 1Co 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1Co 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Per Matthew Henry's concise concordance; Some among the Corinthians seem to have been ready to say, All things are lawful for me. This dangerous conceit St. Paul opposes. There is a liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, in which we must stand fast. But surely a Christian would never put himself into the power of any bodily appetite. The body is for the Lord; is to be an instrument of righteousness to holiness, therefore is never to be made an instrument of sin. It is an honour to the body, that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead; and it will be an honour to our bodies, that they will be raised. The hope of a resurrection to glory, should keep Christians from dishonouring their bodies by fleshly lusts. And if the soul be united to Christ by faith, the whole man is become a member of his spiritual body. Other vices may be conquered in fight; that here cautioned against, only by flight. And vast multitudes are cut off by this vice in its various forms and consequences. Its effects fall not only directly upon the body, but often upon the mind. Our bodies have been redeemed from deserved condemnation and hopeless slavery by the atoning sacrifice of Christ. We are to be clean, as vessels fitted for our Master's use. Being united to Christ as one spirit, and bought with a price of unspeakable value, the believer should consider himself as wholly the Lord's, by the strongest ties. May we make it our business, to the latest day and hour of our lives, to glorify God with our bodies, and with our spirits which are his. George |
