1 | whats bad about Benny Hinn? | Bible general Archive 2 | TheCurtMan | 117282 | ||
The things that he believes in. Hank Hannagraff wrote a book called 'Christianity in Crisis', in this book he gives an insight on some of the doctrinal believe's of Hinn; Copeland; and a couple of others who preach the same doctrine. Hannagraff also has a website: www.equip.org. It's called the Christian Research Institute. They can really supply you with the info. that you're looking for. One of my favorite parts in Christianity in Crisis is how they believed that Adam was a superman. God gave Adam dominion over creation-Gen.1:26. By their beliefs, a man can not have dominion over anything unless he can do what they do. So Adam could swim like a fish, and fly like a bird. LITERALLY fly like a bird. They even went as far to say that Adam flew all over the universe. How's that for doctrinal beliefs?? The CurtMan |

2 | people comminting susiced | Bible general Archive 2 | TheCurtMan | 117276 | ||
Yes. I believe that it is possible that a Christian can commit suicide and still go to heaven. I believe this because there is only one unpardonable sin, and suicide is not it. Just because I’m a Christian do not mean that I’m not going to commit a sin. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God-Romans 3:23, Christians and unbelievers alike. Jesus came and died for our sins, those we have committed and those we will commit. Suicide is a sin. A tragic sin, but a sin nevertheless. According to John 10:28, Jesus said, “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand” Would you say that ment that I could not pluck myself out of the hands of Jesus by committing suicide?? See my point?? Hope this helps. The CurtMan |

3 | Threatens to leave if believer attends | 1 Cor 7:15 | TheCurtMan | 117164 | ||
I think it all depends on where ones priority lay. Are you going to forsake the relationship for God or God for the relationship? Normally the cases that I am aware of, of this type, the unbeliever always become jalousie of the relationship that the believer has with God. Rather it is going to church, reading the bible, mediating or praying. I think that if we do our part and put God first before everything and everyone else, maintain our relationship with Him, He'll honor that and work the problem out. Matt. 6:33-34 and Prov. 3:5-7.

4 | Is gambling wrong ? | James 4:17 | TheCurtMan | 116901 | ||
There isn’t an 11th Commandment that says ‘thou shalt not gamble’. However, according to the 4th chapter of James, 17th verse, it stipulates that if we know the right thing to do and do not do it, it is sin. All that we have, God entrusted it to us. What we do with what we have depends on the type of servants that we are. We will be held accountable for our actions and our decisions. When God ask us about that which He entrusted unto us, are we going to tell Him we lost it gambling?? There’s a parable told by Jesus in Matt. 25:14. The lazy servant did not gamble his master’s belonging away, but at the same time, neither did he do that which was right. Do Christians gamble and talk about it?? Yes they do. I know several Christians that like to play the lottery. I do not doubt their salvation because of it, because I know that all Christians struggle with something. Playing the lottery is there struggle. I’m not aware of much that I can do about it other than pray for them. They do not see a problem with it. If they cannot see the problem, then the problem do not exist as far as they can see. The CurtMan |

5 | What does Gen2:24 means | Matt 19:5 | TheCurtMan | 116679 | ||
Actually, in short order I have always believed this verse to indicate that at the time of marriage, woman, become man's first and primary responcibility. I'm aware of too many marriages where the mother have a hard time letting the son go. She comes between the husband and the wife. The son let this happen. The wife feels as thought she is second place in her husband's life after his mother. According to this verse, that should not be the case, the wife should be the husband's first and primary responcibility over moms, dad, money, job, friends, relatives and everything else with the exception of our relationship with God. |

7 | Can anyone speak in tonges | 1 Cor 13:1 | TheCurtMan | 116384 | ||
You seem to be somewhat familiar with 1 Cor. 14. Are you aware that tongues should be spoken in a particular manner?? Look at verses 27-28. When speaking in tongues, there should be no more than two to three people doing so, one at a time. And there should always be an Interpreter present. Now, lets take a look at your questions. Can anyone speak in tongues? The answer is “No”. According to 1 Cor. 12, starting at verse 4, you’ll see that there are a variety of gifts, Spiritual Gifts. The Spirit gives out these gifts as He sees fit. Speaking in Tongues is one of these gifts. So is the gift of Interpretation. The Spirit do not give everyone the same gift. Every child of God has a Spiritual Gift. Mine is Teaching, I do not have the Gift of Tongues. Only Children of God has Spiritual Gifts. Are you born with these gifts? I do not believe so. I personally believe that when you accept Jesus into your life, the Holy Spirit takes up residents within you. At that time you receive your gift. Speaking in Tongues is a gift of the Holy Spirit giving to Children of God. You are not born a Child of God. This is a decision that you make later on in your life. You might be predestine to be a Child of God, but until you accept Jesus into your life, you are not His. I’m The CurtMan. My add. is The CurtMan000@AOL.Com. Fell free to contact me if you have any questions. If I do not have the answer, I’ll find it!! |

8 | How did Christ survive his beating? | NT general Archive 1 | TheCurtMan | 116310 | ||
If it was God's Will that any other mortal man was to take such a beating, and survive it for such a time. It would happen. I believe that God supplies us with what we need to accomplish His will. He supplied Samson with strength, Solomon with Wisdom and David with courage. If it was His will that you or I should suffer such a beating, somehow, we would survive it until God decided to bring us home. The CurtMan |

9 | Quench the Spirit until extinguish? | Gal 5:17 | TheCurtMan | 116251 | ||
Lorenzo, Greetings!! If I understand your question correctly, you’re asking if it’s possible to ‘quench the Spirit’ completely. I’d have to say that’s not even a possibility. Reason being that in Gal. 5:17, it is indicated that the flesh wareth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. I once heard a pastor say that a Christian has two natures. A Spiritual Nature and a Fleshly Nature. These two natures are like two dogs warring against one another. Which one wins?? The one that we consistently feed. When we walk in the flesh, we are feeding the flesh; we are quenching the Spirit. However, according to Matt. 28:20, Jesus said that He would be with us always until the end of time. Could He make such a promise if it was possible to completely quench the Spirit?? I don’t think so. If that was a possibility than loosing ones’ salvation would also be a possibility. It is possible to ‘quench the Spirit’, even to ‘grieve the Spirit’, but it is not possible to ‘do away with the Spirit ‘ in it’s entirety if you are a true Christian. The CurtMan |

10 | Searching for the truth | Eph 6:11 | TheCurtMan | 115875 | ||
I believe that sins are commited directly when we as Christians, know the will of God and voilate them intentionally for whatever reason. A 'little white lie' to get out of trouble. Taking a few items from the job because they are much needed at the house. So forth and so on. Unintentional sins are when we unintentionally voilate God's law. Like my wife telling the bill collector that I'm not home. Not because he's a bill collector, but because she honestly didn't know that I was in the basement. One of the problems are that we as Christians are so surrounded by sin on a daily basis, and because of our nature, it just doesn't seem to bother alot of us as it should. Can that really be considered as standing our ground against the adversary?? |

11 | Is it right to say Judas's heart was har | John 17:12 | TheCurtMan | 115865 | ||
Judas was responsible for his own action. God knew that he would choose to do what he did. But the decision was entirely up to Judas. It was his choice, he made the decision, he acted upon the decision that he made, he suffered the consequences of that decision. An awful lot can be said about 'A Free Will'. The CurtMan |

12 | Will the earth be distroyed? | 2 Pet 3:13 | TheCurtMan | 115759 | ||
Will the earth be distroyed? YES!! I can not explain the writtings of Solomon in Ecclesiastes as clearly as I’d like. However; take a look at v.2. He states that all is vanity. Is that what you think about your Christian Walk? Your relationship with the Lord, is it vanity? II Perter 3:12-13 says, “Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13) Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Revelations 21:1 says, “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away;and there was no more sea. This earth as we know it will cease to exsist at some point and time. I just can not say when. Therefore your previous thoughts about the destruction of the earth were correct. And, “YES, this is very important”. The CurtMan |

13 | are there more than one kind of death? | Rev 20:13 | TheCurtMan | 115685 | ||
Well there is a Physical Death. That's when the body is buried. Then there is an Eternal Death. That's when you are cast into the Eternal Lake of Fire. And I also believe in a Spiritual Death. That's when we reject Christ and live according to our own ways. |

14 | Who to blame for killing Jesus? | Luke 24:26 | TheCurtMan | 115617 | ||
Jesus did come to die for us. And the Jews were responcible for crucifying Him. But do that justify what they did?? They lied on Him; belittled and degraded Him, then they turned around and nailed an innocent man to the cross. That was why He was here, but do that make what they did right?? Was it not Peter who stood up and accused the Jews of crucifying the Lord of Gory?? Was he right in doing so?? Judas' reasoning for betraying Christ really was not about fulfilling prophecy, but it was about the money. At least that's what I got out the movie. The CurtMan |

15 | How has the "Passion" film changed you? | Luke 24:26 | TheCurtMan | 115616 | ||
As a matter of fact. I was just stating in another post that the movie has given me a stronger desire to "love thy enemies". I doubt very seriouly that I'll be able to explain this as clearly as I'd like, but according to Eph. 6:10-12, my battle is not with flesh and blood. I believe that the adversary can use people to accomplish his will. He uses them as vessels. To watch all those people yelling for Jesus' crucifixion in the courtyard of the movie, just ate me up. We as Christians need to love one another as commanded by Jesus. For if we don't show the world love, true love, who will?? The adversary?? I believe he'll be getting his chance soon, and according to scripture, he messes it up big-time!! |

16 | From what are we ransomed? | Mark 10:45 | TheCurtMan | 115613 | ||
So just how far off base would you say that I am if I told you we were ransomed from death?? "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" Romans 6:23. "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me" Psalms 51:5. And of course, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23. By right, I should be hellbound, but my Lord and Savior loved me so much that He laid down His life so I could be with Him in eternaty. I just saw that movie The Passion. Because of it, I now have a stronger desire to "Love thy enemies". Jesus went through all that suffering partly on my behalf, almost two thousand years before I was born. Had it not been for that suffering, I would be eternally lost. What is holding us hostage? Personal Desire. According to Gal. 5:16-17, without the Spirit of God, we would not have the desire to "Walk in the Spirit", but fulfil the "lust of the flesh". And according to Romans 8:5-8, those who are after the flesh, can not please God. I believe Personal Desire is holding us hostage to death, and that Jesus made a "way of escape" by giving His life as a ransom. The CurtMan |

17 | Can I get a description of hell? | Luke 16:19 | TheCurtMan | 114753 | ||
Russhell, I've taken the time to read the responses to your question regarding hell. I have to admit that Kalos gave a much more scriptural detail answer then I did. And I have to agree with Kalos in the regards that hell is a real place. It is as real as Heaven; as present day earth; even as the air that you're breathen. It is a real place. If you don't mind me asking, what provoked such a question?? And, are you satisfied with your answers?? |

18 | Can I get a description of hell? | Luke 16:19 | TheCurtMan | 114688 | ||
I guess a good starting place would be Luke 16:19. It talks about this rich guy that went to hell, (KJV). The guy was suffering greatly, and knew it. It mentions flames and the fact that the guy was in so much torment that he actually believed that a small drop of water off of someone’s finger tip would soothe him. He had his memory. He was able to remember the fact that he had brothers. He might have even remember people trying to pursade him to live a godly life. And more importantly, Hell is a oneway trip, once you go in, the ONLY time you come out is to be judged and to be cast in the Eternal Lake of Fire, your Eternal Resting Place, providing you’re not a Christian that is, Rev. 20:13-15.

19 | Thank the Catholics for "The Passion"? | 1 Cor 3:22 | TheCurtMan | 114594 | ||
Well needless to say, I am not a Catholic, nor have I seen the movie as of yet. Some prayer buddies and I plan on seeing the movie this weekend. Personally, I believe the movie is a tool that can be used by God. From all that I’ve heard of the movie, it is causing people to sit down and give serious consideration to biblical issues. Those who are unsaved are going to see this movie. Even if one or two become belivers because of this movie, don’t you think that it might be worthwhile no matter who put the movie out. Also, a number of Christians themselves really didn’t have a clue to all that Jesus went through the night before his crucifixion. I’m actually surprised at the number of Christians who actually believed that He was hung on a smooth piece of wood. His back would have been sore, bloodlied, and raw from the flogging He took. The Cross was not smooth, but rugged. In trying to push/pull Himself up to maintain His breathing would have been painful in itself, not to mention the splinters that probably went into His back for His efforts. From what I’ve heard of the movie, it gives some insight on the suffering He went through. Then the movie itself is causing some churches to get together and discuss it through Discussion Groups. There is a verse in the bible that I do not have the time to look up for accuratcy, but it says something to the effect that if it is good and honorable, meditate on it. Meditating on the suffering of Christ will help a number of Christians to continue to Walk in the Spirit. For by giving in to the flesh, are we as Christians not crucifying Christ all over again??

20 | excuses | Gal 5:17 | TheCurtMan | 114457 | ||
Excuses is something that man has been good at since the fall of man. Gal. 5:17 kinda gives the indication that the Christian, in the flesh, will oppose the work of the Holy Spirit and lead the believer toward sinful behavior. In v.16. we are told to walk in the Spirit. If we're walking in the Spirit, are we going to offer God any excuses about our Christian responcibilities?? According to Matt. 6:31-32, God is aware of our NEEDS, and He will provide for them. In v.33 it says "Seek ye FIRST, the Kingdom of God and His righteousness" In my book, the word first kinda toss whatever the excuse is out the window. My wife wanted me to go with her to our Church's 35th Anniversary. Today was the only day I'll have off for two weeks. Of course I wasn't going. My things-to-do list was overwhelming, plus I had deadlines to meet. Of course she reminded me of my Christian and Husbandly Responcibilities. Of course I suited up and went. The CurtMan |
