1 | Has The GLORY of the LORD left the USA? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241548 | ||
I will say this, and it applies to not just the USA, but the world... In order for darkness to increase the Holy Spirit must withdraw. He is the One that is keeping evil in check. And in order for us to identify the antichrist the Holy Spirit must withdraw His Presence in the world. |

2 | HCSB what's your opinion? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241568 | ||
Hello justme. My translation of preference is the King James Version of the Bible. Why? Again, to me it's a matter of authority. I believe God is Sovereign. I believe that God sits one man in a throne, and God removes one man from a throne (earthly throne, that is), and that for God's purpose not only sat King James I on the English throne, but also "moved/prompted" him to authorize a translation for the English-speaking people (his subject.) Now, I know in part that the Bishops Bible and maybe another earlier translation of the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures were "authorized," but for all intents and purposes so was the KJV as there is no one higher (on earth) than a king and I do not believe dictators, presidents, or any other leader of men or nation of people has any authority to translate the Scriptures or to order new translations. I believe that the unification of both Head of State and Head of Church is unified in Jesus Christ, but King James was also summarily head of state and head of church (Anglican), and that the only translation authorized for the English-speaking people is the King James Version. Anyone else care to give me your thoughts on this? |

3 | Woman's place in Heaven | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241569 | ||
I'm kinda funny when it comes to "heaven." First, the word translated from the Hebrew is "shamayim" and I understand that there are only two "heavens" in creation: the first is the atmosphere from the ground to where outer-space begins, the second is outer-space (where the earth, moon, planets, stars) reside. If the question is "(what) is a woman's place in Christ?" I will answer that in spiritual matters they are of the same authority as the man, meaning, that in spiritual things there is neither male nor female and that a woman in Christ (anointing) in accordance to the order decree of God can be an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor-shepherd, or teacher (Eph. 4:11). That order being: God- Christ- everyone else in the Body of Christ. I also believe in Covenant the natural order established by God, that is: God_ Christ- man- woman. I also take 1 Corinthians 11:3 ... 1 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV) 3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. ....that the man/male is head of the woman/female and that they do not have to be married. In other words, God has in Covenant given the care of His daughters to His sons to care for, defend, protect, teach, etc. |

4 | Where is Heaven ? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241765 | ||
Hello Tracylynnwoods1975, if I may...there are only two "heavens" in creation, the atmosphere from the ground to where outer space begins, and outer space where the moon, earth, planets, galaxies, and stars reside. There is also a third "heaven," which is open to various interpretations. I tend to believe third "heaven" to be the Garden of Eden. Outside of these three "heavens" I do not believe God lives or resides in a "heaven" outside creation. In this instance "heaven" in not a place. "Heaven" is a Person. | ||||||
5 | Could you please give some scriptural re | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241768 | ||
My conclusion comes through reason (Isa. 1:18), and through the Scripture defining the Hebrew word "heaven" along with the question of where Enoch, Elijah, and Moses were prior to the Lord's Transfiguration. I have never committed such a study to paper, and it is not something I have yet to declare as Bible. But you can see that I said "I tend to believe" in hopes that other brethren who may have looked at the question may have a part joined to my part joined to brother so-so's part that we might see the whole. This is the wonder and glory of the Body of Christ in its element. | ||||||
6 | Where do threatening voices come from ? | Bible general | jeremiah1five | 241780 | ||
God or Jesus doesn't threaten us with jail or prison per se, but He and they both do say that there are consequences to our every acts, whether good or evil. If evil, judgment is at the door. If good, judgment is at the door. If life and death are in the power of the tongue, so, too is life and death in the power of our acts, whether good and being rewarded, or evil and being rewarded, still. The Lord knows how to bless His kids. Man, too, knows how to bless his kids, whether snakes or bread. Yet sometimes good is rewarded as though evil, and evil rewarded as though good. Changing of times and seasons comes with every generation. Keep in mind that every law on the books of nations the world over are copies of the Law of God, whether not committing theft or murder, except the world doesn't want God a part of their society. A contradiction. | ||||||
7 | water to wine means drinking O.K.? | Gen 1:1 | jeremiah1five | 241496 | ||
No. One cannot base Jesus turning water into wine as permission to consume alcoholic drink. Because of modern-day distilling practices and abilities the drink that is made in today's distilleries is greatly enhanced and more potent than the wine that was made in and around the first century. It really did not have that much potency to make one drunk, and it can be reasoned that Peter's response in Acts that it was quite impossible to be drunk so early in the day as it would seemingly take more time in order to get drunk or intoxicated: Acts 2:15 (KJV) 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. The third hour of the day according to the Hebrew reckoning of time would be around 9AM. Paul does instruct Timothy to "drink a little wine for thy stomachs' sake" as the source of water to make the wine came from the local lake/seas (Galilee) which contained micro-organisms that assisted in digestive "healing" |

10 | Pastors have Evil thoughts? | Amos 1:1 | jeremiah1five | 241493 | ||
Men, both saved/born again and unsaved do have "evil" thoughts. Pastors are not excluded. Paul has answer to being a Christian and saved and still living in this world while we await our death or the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ: Romans 7:14-24 (KJV) 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? And: Romans 8:6-7 (KJV) 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. And: Galatians 5:17 (KJV) 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. |

11 | Does God cause people to get arrested ? | Matt 24:9 | jeremiah1five | 241690 | ||
It may not say it explicitly, but it is implied that believers will find some of their persecution and up-bringing to be God's specific will for them to be arrested, charged with a crime (whether true or not - there are things we do not see it the spirit-realm) that to others seem to be "well, if he's arrested he must have done the crime, but one must see as God sees and not as man sees. God uses everything in creation to grow his kid(s). Even direct confrontation with human laws (which are a copy of God's Laws.) God is in control of everything, even a sparrow that falls to the ground and dies. Sometimes we don't see it, but God is there. | ||||||
12 | Ways of repentance | Matt 27:3 | jeremiah1five | 241692 | ||
Repentance is not "saying sorry," but is a change of mind, and a change of mind means there will be a change of behavior. In other terms repentance means to "change one's mind." In the case of Judas Iscariot he bargained to help the religious leaders find and arrest Jesus. Then, when he saw that Jesus was condemned to die he changed his mind and brought forth fruits for repentance. He tried to do the opposite of what he originally planned to do, in other words, he tried to bring back the money and buy back the life of Jesus. This is repentance. His mind was changed and this led to a behavioral change as well (Matt. 27:3-5). He was obedient to God's Law. And what should have happened was that the priests should have taken him "out back" and stoned him for being complicit in the death of an innocent man. Instead, they told him "See to it yourself!" which in other words is "You handle it!" He did. He hung himself in obedience to the Law of God requiring life for life. |

13 | Mark 1:12 ekbaino not ekballo, | Mark 1:12 | jeremiah1five | 241617 | ||
KJV uses "ekballo." Strong defines it as "to eject" (verb.) |

14 | Does God force His will on us ? | Mark 1:12 | jeremiah1five | 241627 | ||
Hello tracylynnwoods1975. As was discussed on the question of "ekballo" and the resulting definition according to Strong the word is defined as "to eject." Vine's has "denotes, lit., "to cast forth," with the suggestion of force (ek, "out," ballo, "to cast"); hence "to drive out or forth." It is translated "driveth" in Mark 1:12, RV, "driveth forth." In John 2:15 for the AV, "drove," the RV has "cast," the more usual translation." I would also like to ask you to look into your own walk for insight into the question. Let me also add that in discussion I've had with others they say that God does not force us, does not violate "our will," but I say that is rubbish. Man has no "free will" as it is called. How can the will be free if in bondage to sin, even from conception (Ps. 51:5.) Yes, we can choose between chocolate and vanilla, but to choose God when born in sin is impossible. There is no free will. Free will in man is an illusion. Man is in bondage to sin and while in this body of this death there is a constant struggle between flesh and Spirit. But as an unconverted man who is only flesh (no Spirit), their inability to choose God condemns them unless they are Elect of God, those whose names are written by God in the book of life of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8). Let me also add this to my reply...a person is born into this world in bondage to sin. I also believe they are a dichotomy (body and soul... no human spirit), and unless God intervenes and births them they will be cast into "hell" a dichotomy. But if God intervenes in a persons life and births that person God creates a new human spirit and the person is restored to a trichotomy, that is, the image of God (body, soul, human spirit... Eph. 4:24; 2 Cor. 5:17.) There are no persons bearing the image of God in "hell." If I may...if God does intervene in a persons life and is born again the person is freed from the bondage of sin and in a sense are declared "Not Guilty!" (justification) by God and the so-called will in the person that was in bondage is freed there is only one place to go: God. It's not that He forces Himself on His kids, but rather, once freed there is only one place to go: God. And He not only takes us, but He claims us. In a sense God "makes us willing" in all things in which He is directly involved in a moment in TIME in a person's life. A believer that has been born again does not "stand still" but is led. To have force is to have resistence, whether as once standing still and the "force" moves it, or as going in one direction and the Holy Spirit "forces" in another direction. Case in point, Paul wanted to go one direction but the Holy Spirit "made" him go in another direction (Acts 16:6 to 10.) There is only One Will that is Sovereign in all creation and eternity - God. His will be done on earth AS IT IS in "heaven." |

15 | Who is the "Counselor". John 14;15-17 | John 14:15 | jeremiah1five | 241615 | ||
Imagine that. Jesus Himself makes distinction between His disciples and the world. "The world cannot accept Him..." and yet what do Christians do? They invite the world to accept Him. That's called giving that which is holy to dogs, don't you think? There is no "other" Counselor. The Counselor is Christ Himself, and Christ in His people. |
||||||
16 | How do you share Jesus with others? | Eph 4:12 | jeremiah1five | 241552 | ||
I do not believe the so-called "Great Comission" is given to every member in the Body of Christ, except to those specifically called by Christ as it was given specifically to the eleven disciples. We are not all thumbs in the body of Christ. We are not all apostles in the body of Christ. I prefer to believe that we are all commanded to live as peaceably as possible with all men and to always be ready to give an answer to those that ask of the hope in you with reserved strength and reverent respect, and if they don't ask then to say nothing. Being taught correct Biblical Doctrine is important and necessary before the Lord use you, for the Spirit of Truth cannot use lies, error, or heresy when trying to bring increase to what you may be planting or watering. Depending. |

17 | Being tested vs. being tempted. | James 1:13 | jeremiah1five | 241495 | ||
Being tested is as Christian to be tested as to whether one is exercising the instruction and command of God in a given situation of circumstance. This is done by God and it is done by God's people (1 Jn. 4:1). Being tempted is another matter completely. James describes being tempted: James 1:13-16 (KJV) 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. |
