1 | oops! another question :) | Bible general Archive 1 | In the Andes | 57281 | ||
we have denominations because no two people on earth agree about every little detail. And if we don't agree, i'm taking my stuff and going to start my own little group. Word of Faith is a term negatively used to describe a group of christians who believe that it is always God's will that we be healthy wealthy and wise. (yes that is overly simplified) Kalos will probably show you some skills he learned in kindergarden and cut and paste a link or whole article for you. It will be very informative and fun. |

2 | verify statement | Bible general Archive 1 | In the Andes | 57279 | ||
I'd say that the statement made about WoF here is kind of ignorant. Every ministry lives off of those who listen to them. 1 Cor 9, Rom 15, Gal 6, Phi 4. Whether they are heretical or not. Just ask CRI and Hank what they did with the money from Christianity in Crisis and Counterfit Revival, and The Resurrection? They probably used it to fund their ministries. And to pay salaries. Would anyone care to say that's wrong? Or is that the way things work? "You shall not muzzle the ox while it treads out the grain." I would probably agree with you. Ministries that preach about money get the most money. Ministries on TV and Radio get more than the rest. If God is pleased with your ministry, wouldn't he support it as He did with Paul? Why then should you beg people to support what you? It's totally interesting to me that NOT once to my knowledge does Paul ever mention the subject of healing specifically, but he does devote much of his writing to the subject of money. Rom 12, 13 and 15, 1 Cor 9, 2 Cor 8 and 9, Gal 6, Phi 4 1 Thess 4, 2 Thess 3, 1 Tim 5 and 6, and Philemon. These are devoted to the motives, attitudes, purpose and methods of obtaining money. |

3 | cult by what definition? | Bible general Archive 1 | In the Andes | 57206 | ||
Yeah, I agree with you. By definition, she is completely cultic. I would like to hear what some of our Hanagraffites have to say about this. Those who are so fond of cutting and pasting from brother Hank's website should drop you a line. I really wonder how a man can say that Kenneth Hagin is the biggest false prophet in the church today when the prosperity gospel doesn't even come close to the heresies propagated by the Catholic church. As you, from experience pointed out, they don't even teach the basic fundamental doctrines of christianity. Not to mention, all over the world they worship Idols. Praying to and burning candles to statues of "saints" is pretty cultic. Is it NOT cultic/heretical to pray to and worship Mary? If it's not worship what would you call it? Indulgences, transubstantiation(?), confession to priests who pardons your sins after works have been performed, hail Mary's etc, purgatory (and paying the priest to pay you out of it, hmmm, sounds a lot like false "profits" to me.) Time does not permit me to continue. How many pagan rituals has the catholic church incorporated into it's "worship" in the past 2000 yrs? I would really appreciate apologists here in this forum and on radio giving as much time to REAL APOLOGETICS as to it's pet peeves of "health and wealth". Perhaps they don't want to offend people praying to someone other than God, but think it's OK to blast those who believe God is so good it's always His will to heal, even if He cannot for some strange reason. I wonder what's more heretical, paying a priest who will pray to Mary to get grampa out of purgatory, or believing God wants to bless humanity. But I digress. I'm glad you found your way out. Cheerio! |

4 | Are you asking about a mystical body | Eph 5:25 | In the Andes | 54174 | ||
Hello Emmaus and Hank, I understand anthropomorphims. To question my ability as a teacher, based upon one question designed to spark a long list of postings...hmmm. How would you respond to ... Ezek 1:26-28 And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it. Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around. Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking. NKJV Do Angels have a body? |

5 | In the Andes, All 5 or none for today? | Acts 10:48 | In the Andes | 54122 | ||
sorry, i didn't realize i was leading you to think that some were now and some later. let me clarify. I ONLY MENTIONED TWO BECAUSE I'M LAZY AND DON'T LIKE TO WASTE MY TIME DOTTING EVERY I AND CROSSING EVERY T. Clear enough? They are all current as far as the bible is concerned. |

6 | In the Andes (only), why mention 2 of 5? | Acts 10:48 | In the Andes | 54109 | ||
simply because it was easier and faster, those are the two most attacked. (if you'll allow me to say it that way) you know, believing that God is All Powerful and sovereign, it's difficult to believe that he would allow such an addition to the bible that is uninspired. since when is God NOT powerful enough to keep out errors. And I know how we came about with our NT. So I don't need that lesson from anyone. the fact is all of it true. whether or not it's in the OLDEST 2 or not. I know it would be Impossible for man to loose pieces of paper over a 2000 year period. there goes that sarcasm thing again. i gotta get a handle on it. fine, take it out so you have less scripture to prove away. if you know what you are doing you'll find all 5 of those things proven elsewhere in the NT. not only that, it's really hard to argue against scripture plus experience. we've already had 3 doctor certified healings of cancer here. TO GOD BE THE GLORY! |

7 | rock foundation | Matt 7:24 | In the Andes | 53717 | ||
Yes Jesus is the rock, 1 Cor 10. But the Rock that Jesus refered to in Luke 6 and Matt 7 is not refering to him. The Rock that he is refering to is "Doing what he says to do." The man who hears and does or acts on them MAY BE COMPARED... Hope that helps. Oh by the way, you might out to know that Jesus was teaching Jews in the four Gospels. Therefore he was expounding upon the Law, which the Christians are not under. The Gospels are important, BUT The Letters Rom-Jud are what we should be studying the most. THEY TEACH US HOW TO DO THE SAYINGS OF JESUS UNDER OUR COVENANT. Any good book on bible interp. will tell you that. |

9 | In the Andes, Law the only OT covenant? | Ex 20:10 | In the Andes | 53653 | ||
There were tons of Covenants in the OT. Look at Deut. 4:13 So He declared to you His COVENANT which He commanded you to perform, THE 10 COMMANDMENTS; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone. Look at Deut. 5:2-3 The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. He did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who are here today... Did you notice that? 2 covenants, both based upon the same thing. Ch 4:13 There is NO misunderstanding that, the Covenant is the 10 commandments. The only thing God wrote on stone where those. The rest of the mosaic law rests on those 10. Therefore, I could be wrong, Paul refers continually to the 10 as the Law of Moses and Moses called the 10 a covenant, so the law was a covenant. If you've got evidence to the contrary, I'd like to know it cause I do think this is important. Now look at Deut. 29:1 These are the words of teh covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the Children of Israel in the land of Moab, BESIDES THE COVENANT THAT HE MADE WITH THEM IN HOREB. Horeb was Mt Sinai the giving of the Law the 10 commandments. You know, I've been thinking about what you said we need the law. You know, you only need the law until you realize that you are a sinner. Once you figure out you are a sinner, you have no further need of it. That's my reading of Gal 3:24-25. How do you read it? What about Gal 4:21-24 Mount Sinai gives birth to bondage. that's the OT law including the 10. Again, let me reiterate, I have nothing against the 10. It's just not God's way of justifing His kids. We are justified freely by the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Most Christians get saved, then go try to keep the 10 commandments to be spiritual. That's the whole point of the book of Galatians. The way you are saved is the way you become spiritual. BY FAITH. See Gal 3:1-9 and 5:7-26. If you are going to keep the "Sabbath" you might as well keep circumcision. I think we've beat this dead horse enough. It was a really fun topic. I'll find something equally fun for this week. |

10 | In the Andes, name the Laws of the New | Ex 20:10 | In the Andes | 53636 | ||
The law has not been abolished but fulfilled and set aside. Heb 7:11, 12, see vs 18,19 Heb 7:28-8:1, 6 Now read Heb 8:7-12 And to conclude vs 13 says... "In that He says, "a new covenant" He has MADE THE FIRST OBSOLETE."The rest of the vs is talking about the jews. The law of the New Covenant is John 13:34-35, Rom 13:8-10, and ch 14 is an example of living that law. We do this by following the Spirit and bearing the fruit of the Spirit. The outworking of our Righteousness will include those things contained in the law. Walking in love, we will never commit adultery, etc. etc. But this is the point, The 10 Commandents made NO ONE PERFECT. Speaking of the Law and Commandments, Paul says in Col. 2:14-23 and Eph 2:14-16 That the law was the enmity that was against us. And Jesus put to death the enmity by taking it to the cross and nailing it there. I always thought he was talking about my sins, but that's not what it says. Jesus wiped out the handwriting of requirements-that was the law. So no one should pass judgement upon another believer about the sabbaths, that includes the weekly sabbaths, as well as the 3 year sabbath 50 yr etc. Paul says that keeping the law has an APPEARANCE OF WISDOM, but it is really, FALSE HUMILITY, and it has NO VALUE AGAINST THE INDULGENCE OF THE FLESH. The law cannot get sin out of our life. |

11 | Honor the Sabbath | Ex 20:10 | In the Andes | 53619 | ||
I've got an even better question for you. Follow in your bible. Deut 4:13 2 Cor 3:6- Ministers of the new covenant-NOT OF THE LETTER The new covenant/testament is of the spirit The old covenant/testament is of the letter(of the law) The letter(of the law) kills. 2 Cor 3:7- The MINISTRY OF DEATH was written and engraved upon STONES. Here's your question...What was engraved upon stones? You got it, the 10 commandments. Paul calls them the letter that kills. the ministry of Death, vs 9 the ministry of condemnation. Gal 3:13- Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. 4:9 why do we desire to return to bondage again, 5:1 we are not to be entangled again in the yoke of bondage (to the law). 5:2 we are not to try to please God by returning to the rituals of the law, 5:3 If you begin to go back to the rituals of the law, you are a debtor to keep all of it. 5:4 You are separated from Christ when you try to keep the Law (10 commandments) Look at Colossians 2:16 SO LET NO ONE JUDGE YOU IN FOOD OR IN DRINK, OR REGARDING A FESTIVAL OR NEW MOON OR SABBATHS. Since we are redeemed from the curse the law brings, you are free to keep any day you like. Romans 14:5 One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike, let each be fully convinced in his own mind. Don't let anyone pass judgement upon you. If you don't want to keep any day, don't. A good principle to live by is rest. If you don't rest you'll die early. But as far as pleasing God, forget about it. NO ONE EVER pleased God by keeping the l0 commandments. According to Gal 3 the law which contained the commandments was only in force till Christ came. It was a tutor to teach us we could not save ourselves but that we needed a savior. LEST ANYONE THINK I DON'T BELIEVE IN NOT COMMITTING ADULTERY, LYING STEALING ETC. Rom. 13:8-10 love fulfills the law! Look at vs 9 with further proves the 10 commandments were concidered by Paul to be the law. 5 of them are mentioned and in summation he said "AND IF THERE BE ANY OTHER COMMANDMENT". Vs 10 love is the fulfillment of the law. Jesus Gave the church a new law. See John 14-16 That is the law of love. If you love me, you won't steal my stuff. If you love me, you won't sleep with my wife, etc. etc. You fulfill THAT law by faith in God, and the power of the Spirit. It's a higher law, that only born again christians can keep. We don't have to keep any particular day. And going back to the law was the very heresy that Paul fought in almost everyone of his letters. Isn't it amazing all those scriptures the heresy hunters are using against the prosperity preachers and faith healers directly refer to the heresy of going back to the law. How many of them, believe we must keep the 10 commandment in order to be saved? I give this test to people, Do you believe we must keep the 10 commandments in order to be saved? the overwhelming majority say yes. Then and Ask them to list them. 95 percent cannot list all 10. The ones that can rarely get the order right and if they do, they normally have a catholic background. |

12 | Solve married second time, confess sins? | 1 John | In the Andes | 53617 | ||
I'd say, no, neither one of them is living in Adultery. God hates divorce but loves the divorcee. Right? Why would God destroy the lives of 2 small children and 2 spouces by causing them to get divorced to stop the two orginal people from living in adultery? According to Jesus and Paul, Even though God does not like divorce, God RECOGNIZES divorce. I've got a better question for you. Is divorce the unpardonable sin? If you commit it and get married again wouldn't you have to get divorced AGAIN to get out of Adultery? Hey, if you get divorced and remarried, and committed a sin in the process, God will forgive you and forget it so you ought to forgive youself and forget it too. Besides He's not like christians, He's full of mercy. |

13 | 2corth12:7 | 1 Cor 12:7 | In the Andes | 53544 | ||
I love this question. Without a doubt it is an Angel (gk angelos) of Satan. If you look at the context of 2 Cor and especially chps 10-12 you must come to the undeniable conclusion that it is a the false apostles and false brethren that follow Paul around inciting the Jews to persecute Paul. See Acts 13:44-45,50, 14:19-20,15:1-2, And Also look at Matt 27:17-18. It was a messenger sent to stir up the religious folk to ENVY. There is absolutely NO evidence to support the erroneous dotrine that it was an eye disease. Gal 1 and 6 are not sufficient. Either contextually or circumstancially. See 2 Tim 3:11 Nor can Pauls thorn be some disease that God refused to heal him of because "Out of them all the Lord delivered me!" Thorn in the flesh is a Hebrew Idiom, meaning in our day and culture A PAIN IN THE NECK. If I said Satan was a pain in the neck you wouldn't think that I had neck problems would you? See Num 33:25, Josh 23:13, and Judges 2:3 |

14 | business partners with unbelievers | 1 Cor 15:33 | In the Andes | 53538 | ||
1 Cor 5:9-13 9 I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person. 12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore "put away from yourselves the evil person." NKJV Honestly, you've asked a question that I believe can only be answered by the Lord. From these two portions of scripture 1 Cor 15:33 and 1 Cor 5:19- I think that you could go either way. You know, unfortunately I've found that most Christian Business people have less character than the sinners. I hired a christian to work for me and he was lazy, took advantage of my kindness, and cost me more money AND did a poor job and refused to fix his mistakes. Then if that wasn't enough he blamed it on the Lords Will. It was a very difficult situation for me. It really depends upon what type of business venture you are talking about. Is this guy a friend of yours? Are you a new believer? OR have you had much experience following the leading of the Holy Spirit? You know, Gideon was not born again. He did not have God's Spirit living inside him. YOU DO. You are the temple of the Holy Ghost. That's where God is going to speak to you and lead you. From where he lives. Not on the outside. Jesus said "My sheep HEAR my voice and they follow me." That's not an audible voice. But if you are born again that's a promise to you. You need to follow that voice. The word follow denotes position. To follow someone you must be behind them AND be able to see where they are going. God is your father, and he's not making it difficult for you. He's not withhold info from you. That would be torture to think that your father's withholding valuable info to treach you something. God's Name is Jehovah Roi- the Lord my Shepherd- Shepherds lead feed and protect. He is NOT Jehoveh Sadistic- the lord who tortures me- or Jehoveh Schitzophrenic- the Lord who changes his mind frequently. If you got doubts about this, I'd say wait a little bit. If it's God today, it'll be God tomorrow. |
