1 | what god wants me to do in the body | Bible general Archive 1 | borgain | 78906 | ||
Hi tasha Welcome to the forum. The best that we can do to find God's will are the following: Prayer (Jer 33:3) Read our Bibles (2 Tim 3:16 - 17) Witness to others (Mat 28:19) Have fellowship with other born again Christians. There are more to name but these form the first layer we build on our foundation Jesus Christ. Borgain |

2 | revival today? | 2 Chr 7:14 | borgain | 76324 | ||
Hi Yes, we can. It usually starts with us (you and me). If we wait for something to happen, then we will wait forever. We have to start it as instruments, of the Holy Spirit. Borgain |

3 | Should my kids read Psalms? | Ps 41:10 | borgain | 75104 | ||
Hi 1 Sam 13:14 But now your kingdom shall not continue (Saul's). The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you." David was a man after God's heart, David did not have a religious face. He was a normal human like you and me. He stumble and fell but stood up, repented and loved God with everything he had. This sounds like someone that we can relate to in this day we live. Someone that had enemies, as we have enemies etc. It shows us that there are times in our lives that we call to God with all our problems and how we want to repay them, until the Holy Spirit talks to us and we calm down, and then sound just like David. The same on the other side we can praise God for all His goodness and mercy. Borgain |

4 | Can I remarry and be forgiven by god | Luke 7:47 | borgain | 72514 | ||
Hi Read Luk 7:36-50 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I believe you can be forgiven, by the repentance of your sin. Which means, to admit it, believe Jesus can/will for give you, and to confess it and ask Him for forgiveness. A repented person will turn 180 degrees around and never do "that" again. You also have to ask your husband and children (because they are also affected by our wrong choices sometimes) for forgiveness. If they don't want to forgive you that's then between God and them (forgive us as we forgive others). And forgive him (your husband), tell him that. And pray pray pray, lest we fall for the temptation that comes our way. Borgain P.S You can also see a born again marriage councilor together, because this forum is more about bible study, that counciling which your family needs. |

5 | is december 25th the day christ was born | Gal 4:4 | borgain | 68355 | ||
Hi 1 Cor 11:23-26 23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me." 25In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me." 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. This is the way Paul reminded the Corinthians and us to remember Jesus, and what He has done for us. Borgain |

7 | big-bang theory | Bible general Archive 1 | borgain | 66611 | ||
Hi "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible" Heb 11:3 So, something visible or know to mankind did not start the creation. If it was then we will, have to use it as a foundation of how we do things here on earth. 1) Say we want to build a house:- take all that you want to put in/on your house, the bricks, windows, doors etc. on one spot. 2) But on a lot of explosives, to make a big bang. 3) Set the explosives off. 4) And see your dream home is ...... a big hole. So something is missing and we are trying to logicaly explain what happend. We have to be like children, trusting in our Father, that He knows how even if we can not understand nor explain it.

8 | Can we pray Romans 10:1 on the USA | Rom 10:1 | borgain | 66281 | ||
Hi Seneca Yes. 1 Tim 2: 3-5 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, We had prayer meetings on Wednesday nights and some nights we went into the streets and started praying for the people whoe lived in a street or blocks. It was usually collective. Then the following months we could not keep up with all the visitors (from these streets/blocks) that wanted to know more. Some accepted Christ. Jesus died for every one, we can not be selective, to whom we want to proclaim the good new. What is impossible for us is possible for God. Borgain |

9 | Is believing the same as knowing? | Acts 15:11 | borgain | 65701 | ||
Hi MarieH The scripture that your daughter might be using or heard about may be the following: 1 John 2:3-5 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. The is a big difference in the words know and believe for me, but because of the one the other happens. If you are married, you believe that your husband is faithfull (when you can not see what he is doing), but you also know him, what he likes and what he doesn't. To believe Heb 11 and as you said He died for us and He lives. Then to know Him means that you talk to Him i.e. have a relationship with Him, you know what He wants. To have a teachable spirit is vey important, if you cut with the sword(Bible) it cuts back aswell. It will not help to argue with your daugter, but pray FOR her and WITH her that she might see the truth throught the Word. Borgain Rom 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God |

10 | Never defend myself or others ag. evil? | Matt 5:39 | borgain | 64685 | ||
Hi Constantin Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. There can be alot to say about your question, but I just want to (hopefully) give this simple answer. Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (James 4:7) Stand your ground on your knees and the world will become smaller. So be preprayed, and when you face the situation, let Jesus come thru. Borgain |

11 | next step..? | Eph 5:31 | borgain | 63874 | ||
Hi I see a can of worms were opened, if you read some of the other posts. :-) With my first response to you, I tried to paint a picture of how important the act of sex is. Thus if you had sex with 10 different people you have married and divorced them all. If the reason for these persons were not marriage, but lust, then they have to repent - it sin. If the reason was marriage (which include the knowledge of what marriage is) and they seperate (divorce) and get another partner, and do the same thing again. They are busy with adultery. (Mat 5:27,28,32) The same as you can not become one with Christ and the world, that is adultery. Lets look at Jesus and the samaritan woman in John 4:16-18. 16Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." 17The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have well said, "I have no husband,' 18for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly." You can have a sexual relationship and think it is marriage but it is not. So the next step to take for these believers is to take stock and see why it(sex) happened the first time, and take it from there. If it was because of lust etc. then repent, Jesus will forgive them and THEN let them consider what was done and set it right. Marriage is the union of two people thru God, and they can only come closer to each other thru Him and not of becuase of any commen things in their lifes. Thru marriage new life comes as we are "married" to Christ we become born again, the seed was planted, a new person is born and the cord attached to the old life is broken. (Resembles birth of a baby) So, they have to take stock and pray together, so that the Holy Spirit will reveal to them why it happen, what to do next. And as we become born again, tell it to the world thru as ceremony. In Christ Borgain (Some people went thru all the right steps, but still the word marriage is only a word and legal document) No one can throw stones, unless they are sinless, Jesus didn't even considered to judge that women brought to Him and the Jews, but only told her sin no more. |

12 | inmorality also if the couple will marry | Eph 5:31 | borgain | 63826 | ||
Hi fle Sex is the act of marriage. It is the seal of the covenant between husband and wife. They are then one after the act. Asking the question shows me the Holy Spirit, has already spoken to you in your heart(s) about it. Sex resembles our relationship with Christ. You can not ask Christ into our life without becoming saved. (A marriage certificate is only a legal document on earth.) Some other scripture Ex 22:16-17 Deut 20 Borgain |

13 | XMAS RELIGION OR MAN MADE | Luke 2:13 | borgain | 61669 | ||
Hi This is a real problem and if we put some of todays christains next to "non-christains", do we see a difference? They speak the same things, do the same things etc. The christians might visit a "church" more often then the other. Unfortunately some christians, learned to become christians and never met Jesus. Then you might find those way out Christians (that lost it), that don't believe in these holidays, because of 1 Cor 11 : 23 - 26 and other scriptures, (and the conviction by the Holy Spirit) 23 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat;[2] this is My body which is broken[3] for you; do this in REMEMBRANCE of Me." 25In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in REMEMBRANCE of Me." 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes. And then the "we don't want to lose" our members issue, because that won't look good in our register and finances....... We are whom we serve, we do the same things, speak the same ideas. Borgain |

14 | Where is the Loving God???? | John 16:33 | borgain | 59496 | ||
Hi God is a gentleman. If we don't want Him in your schools, goverments, homes, workplace and life's, He will not force Himself in. Things can happen and because of the wall that we build between Him and us, He "can't" help us, because we want to do it first and not alow Him to do it thru us. (Look at the life of Lot) Jesus said, that we will have trouble in the world, and what they have done to Him they will do to those who follow Him. There are to many prosperity preachers, that emphases on the FICTION it will always go well with God's children. Then after a few years people believe it is true, not realizing that it isn't. There also the other side of the coin, testing(growing) of your faith, like Job, Moses, Abraham etc. The natural man does not understand this (and other things), and that is where prayer comes in. (And it is always easier to blame someone else.) Borgain |

15 | If I really don't have money to give. | Num 18:12 | borgain | 58313 | ||
Hi Sometimes we forget that God wants 100 percent of us and what belong to us. Did He not give us all we have, anyway? Mat 6 31"Therefore do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?' or "What shall we drink?' or "What shall we wear?' 32For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Here, Jesus say if we worry about things we need (have money to buy it) we are like the Gentiles. Mat 19: 21, 22 21Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." 22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. The less we have to manage, the more time we have to serve God. Some people still believe you have to pay a type of "insurance against fire" premium on a policy that has expired. Anyway a organisation is not God, the people that need it "is", Jesus said if you do it to them you have done it to me. I thank God that I don't have to do anything to please Him, or that He will love me more. GIVE TO GOD WHAT HE LAID ON YOUR HEART. Borgain Matthew 6 1 "Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 3But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly. |

16 | On the baptism subject- TITLES? | Matt 28:19 | borgain | 56683 | ||
Hi stebert1 To add to your em ....question. Note the "in the" in the verse. This means under the authority of the name i.e from the Strongs 3686 onoma onoma on’-om-ah 1) name: univ. of proper names 2) the name is used for everything which the name covers, everything the thought or feeling of which is aroused in the mind by mentioning, hearing, remembering, the name, i.e. for one’s rank, authority, interests, pleasure, command, excellences, deeds etc. 3) persons reckoned up by name 4) the cause or reason named: on this account, because he suffers as a Christian, for this reason So when we baptize etc we must do it in the Name and not the Person. I hope this put some more fuel on the fire. Borgain |

17 | sinful to listen to psychic | Jer 33:3 | borgain | 55864 | ||
Hi Welcome to the forum PCM. Here are some scriptures about such people. Lev 19:31 Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God. Lev 20:6 And the person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people. Does the psychic proclaim Jesus? Under which autority does he/she perform? Jer 33:2-3 2"Thus says the LORD ....: 3"Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. Borgain |

18 | Does God or Jesus hear a sinners prayer? | Luke 18:13 | borgain | 53203 | ||
Hi Welcome to the forum. Luke 18:9-14 Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, "God, I thank You that I am not like other men--extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.' And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, "God, be merciful to me a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." Yes, God do hear a sinners prayer when he repents of his sin and believe that Jesus came to set him/her free and confess it. Jesus came for the lost (Mat 9:13). As easy as ABC A for Admitting he is a sinner, B for Believing that Jesus came to set us free and C for Confessing it. Act 3:19,20 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name. Thus a father will always hear to his children. Eph 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. John 9:31 Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him. So if a sinner repents God wil hear him. Hope this helps |

19 | Story to go with lesson | James 1:22 | borgain | 51470 | ||
Hi Welcome to the forum. The book of James is what you are looking for. James 1 : 22 - 25 22But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. James 2: 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? And I'm sure there will be a lot of replies or portions in the forum on the topics, if you use the search facility (on the Right) |
