1 | When is it time to say no? | 2 Tim 3:1 | bronx hulk | 111020 | ||
Compudex, I agree with you that the Word of God has been comprimised with every new translation out there. Only the KJV has the annointing of God. For those that would disagree, I suggest they take time to pray on this matter. Not to say that you cannot serve God with other bibles, but to get the best understanding, the KJV is the one to use. The scripture I listed says this: 1 This know also, that in the LAST DAYS perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. We are without a doubt in the last days and it should be no surprise that Satan has attacked the very thing that we need to survive; the Word of God. I don't think there is anything we can do about it except be educated ourselves and educate others on this topic. Of course, let every man be persuaded in his own mind. As the scripture says, people are ever learning, but never coming to the knowledge of the truth. If you take time to ponder that verse, you will see that people have alot of knowledge of God, but don't completely understand things about Him like you mentioned in your statement. 2 Thess 2:3 says: 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a FALLING AWAY first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; The falling away mentioned is the church falling away from the true understanding of God. The world cannot fall away because it is already in a fallen state. Things like what you mentioned is a sign of the church starting to fall away. Once we start to add or take away from the Word, we have commited a great sin. I feel sorry for the person who decided that they had a better idea and felt like translating a perfectly good translation. Rev 22:18-19 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. What do you think? |

2 | is it wrong to date or marry outside of | Bible general Archive 2 | bronx hulk | 95106 | ||
SD, Your question was answered very well by everyone. I would only like to add these verses. Prov 24:23, 28:21 Acts 10:34 Rom 2:11 Eph 6:9 Col 3:25 James 2:1-9 1 Pet 1:17 They all lead to the same term "There is no respect of persons with God" Respect of persons means any type of prejudice, wheather racial, financial or appearance. Now, they don't specifically refer to dating, but in making judgements. However, one would have to say that if God doesn't judge people differently according to their looks, then this same line of reasoning would also apply to dating. Hope that helped, Sal |

3 | Still looking for my answer | 1 Cor 8:1 | bronx hulk | 94845 | ||
challen, Did you ever receive your answer? Everyone listed the perfect scriptures and understandings for you so I will not go into it any further. I promised I would address that article you mentioned so that is why I am writing. I was going to go over it piece by piece and list all scriptures going against what it says, but that would take forever and a day. If I did, I could wind up publishing this note as a novel! It is more fitting to answer it in a conversational bible study. However, I will give you one example that you can use to dismiss that whole article. That article goes on and on, listing scriptures and it was making me dizzy because it was using many out of the proper context. The main point of that article (from what I gather) is that we should still be following God's Law from the old testament. Here's my example that I will use to say that that is nonsense. Part of God's law was to sacrifice animals for various reasons, mostly for forgiveness of sins. That will no longer be an accepted form of repentance. It is only through Christ that we are forgiven of sins. So the law did change. There are many other examples, but I will just use that one to keep it simple. I have no idea how someone could say that we must still follow the old law. If that's the case, we all need to build altars in our backyard and conduct animal sacrifices or else God will not forgive us of our sins. Do you see my point? God bless, Sal |

4 | Still looking for my answer | 1 Cor 8:1 | bronx hulk | 94144 | ||
OK, Just a quick note. I read a little of this article and it is nonsense. I will go over it very carefully and use scripture to back my stand. It will take some time since it could become a few pages. I will try to make it as brief as possible. But I urge you to read scripture for yourself. Do not take my word or anyone elses word on what scripture is saying (even if it is in a printed article). It is IMPORTANT that you receive for yourself from scripture. That is what this walk is about--building a relationship with God so you do not have to use man to get to him. Read Matt 7:15. Just a note on Matt 4:4. It has nothing to do with the topic of dietary law. Satan was trying to get Christ to Doubt who He was and Christ used the Word to battle him. Satan was also using the Word against Christ in that passage. He was quoting true scriptures, but using them against Jesus. Jesus had to come back with the FULL understanding of the Word to battle that. Which is ironic because that is the case we have here with that article you found. It is using the Word out of context. Give me some time and I will give you what I receive on it. But I urge you again... Do not fall for mans wisdom, but decipher the scriptures for yourself!! Seek the truth! Yours in Christ, Sal |

5 | Still looking for my answer | 1 Cor 8:1 | bronx hulk | 94140 | ||
No I didn't. I'll have to read that and get back to you on it later. But the scriptures I gave you are quite clear. We are allowed to eat anything we want now. The dietary law is not required anymore. |
||||||
6 | Elaborate, Please | 1 Cor 8:1 | bronx hulk | 94135 | ||
Sure, I like for people to read things and receive from God first before I give my understanding. This way it is more personal for you if you receive from God for yourself. You have to read the whole chapter. Pay particular attention to verse 8. It is saying that we are now free to eat whatever we want. But if your brother is offended by what you eat, then you should not eat it in front of him. This same logic applies to other things such as drinking. Although it is not a sin to drink, if your brother has a problem with it, then you should not do it in front of him. Read also Romans chapter 14. Not eating pork was part of the Law. Christ freed us from that law. Now we have certain liberties that were'nt available before. We are now under grace. Rom 6:14 Let me know if you need any further elaboration. God bless, Sal |

8 | How do we discipline church members? | Matt 18:15 | bronx hulk | 93409 | ||
Hi, I think your pastor handeled it perfectly. Read Matt 18:15-17. There is a time when you must kick people out of the church that are not willing to receive. Notice that the woman said she loved the church, not God. There is a big difference between the two. Take a look at these scriptures and let them speak for themselves. Your pastors job: Is 56:10 Ezekiel 33:4-6 What to do about people who do not receive: 1 Corin 5:6-7 Rom 16:17-18 That woman was not willing to serve God, only her own wants and desires. She didn't belong in your church causing division. I would have done the same thing. The Word of God cut her and made her embarassed and cry. That's what it does sometimes. Maybe this harshness will make her see the error of her ways and repent from them. We as people are too afraid to "spank" others when they are being bad for fear of hurting their feelings. Our feelings do not matter, only what God wants and says matters. I applaud your pastor for doing his job and not being afraid to speak the truth! God bless, Sal |

9 | "Has prophecy ceased or still there?" | Bible general Archive 1 | bronx hulk | 92820 | ||
Greetings, If you are asking if all the prophesies have been fulfilled, the answer is no. That one is obvious. Christ prophesied His return. He hasn't returned yet. That's just one. If you are asking if there are prophets still around today, the answer is yes. If you look at 1 Corin 12:28 and Eph 4:11,12 it clearly talks about prophets being used in the church. God placed prophets in the church the same as teachers, apostles, pastors, etc. He uses these ministers for the perfecting of the saints. If He has established these ministers for His church, He would not have removed them because of modern times. A prophet is a mouthpiece of God. He uses them to speak to His church as He needs. I wasn't real sure of what you were asking. Please let me know if that answered your question. God bless, Sal |

10 | Why are Jesus stories told differently? | John 14:26 | bronx hulk | 92804 | ||
Hello Confused Catholic. Let me first tell you that I was raised catholic most of my life before I gave my life to Christ. We probably have alot in common. As for your question: John 14:26 says, "But the COMFORTER, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." This says that the disciples would remember things according to the way the Holy Spirit revealed it to them. Do you know how two people could see the same thing but discribe it differently? That's all that's happening in the gospels. If you read the stories, you will notice that not one UNDERSTANDING is contradicted. Only certain words are used differently and maybe the story is described a little more in detail in the different gospels. But the understanding is the important thing and that is not comprimised in any of the stories. God bless, Sal |

11 | association between demons and vomiting | Mark 5:1 | bronx hulk | 92718 | ||
Hello hphillip, I can't tell you of a scripture where people vomited when a demon was cast out (not to say there aren't any, but I have never seen one). I can list scriptures where demons were cast out and people didn't vomit. Mark 5:1-15 Matt 9:33 Matt 17:18 Luke 11:14 Acts 16:16-18 Those are just a few. According to those scriptures I would believe that vomiting isn't necessarily a sign that has to happen once a demon is cast out. But it doesn't mean that it wouldn't ever happen. Sal |

12 | Salvation - Is one's good work necessary | Gen 1:1 | bronx hulk | 92638 | ||
Wow, you're full of good questions. I'm not too sure of the scriptures used to support once saved always saved. I think they are Rom 10:9, John 3:16, Rom 8:1 (NIV). I'm sure that there are others, but you would have to talk to someone who believes in that theory. As far as working out your salvation, the whole entire Word is full of scriptures that support this. (KJV) Phil 2:12, Heb 6:4-6, Rev 3:5, James 2:8-26 and Rom 8:1-14, Matt 3:10, to name a few. Understand that you cannot earn salvation. It is a free gift given by grace. But once you receive salvation, you must use the Spirit God has given you to live a Godly life according to His Word (good works). Works are not doing 15 good things vs. doing 15 bad things. Works are trying to live a lifestyle that God has called you to live. That's the short answer. This topic has been discussed before on this forum. If you do some digging, you will find it. Sal |

13 | What if a christian dies in a sinful act | Gen 1:1 | bronx hulk | 92636 | ||
Tough question Hebrews, but a good one. I'm not sure if your question can be answered. I'd like to believe that the pastor would still inherit eternal life. Matt 12:31 says, Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and BLASPHEMY shall be forgiven unto men: but the BLASPHEMY against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. That would lead me to believe that he would be forgiven even if he didn't have a chance to repent. However, I cannot be certain on that. I understand that the judgement of eternal life or death is not up to us to decide. That is reserved for God and God alone. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but this is a question that I have had myself, and this is the best answer I could come up with. As for the wife, if she was saved and truly repented of her sins, yes, she would inherit eternal life. God bless, Sal |

14 | what do eagerly,constantly,waiting mean | Heb 9:28 | bronx hulk | 92402 | ||
I think you are 100 percent right Tammy. The Word definately says that we must serve him with our all and do what the Word says. Most notably in Rom 8, James 1 and 2. If we are just playing with this thing, we disgust God (Rev 3:15,16). The entire Word of God supports this doctrine. God bless. Your brother, Sal |

15 | How is unity possible in diversity? | John 17:11 | bronx hulk | 92315 | ||
Hello Joyce, My personal view on this is that if others want to view us as close minded, that's their problem. Our faith must testify that there is no other way to the Father but by Jesus. If we compromise that, we would be lying to anyone we speak to. The unity that we need to have is revealed in Phil 2:2 "Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one ACCORD, of one mind". Meaning that we need to work together so that there are no divisions in understanding within the church. Now granted. This day and age there are so many denominations of Christianity, never mind other religions, it is confusing. How can we be on one accord given this situation? The baptists do not believe in speaking in tongues. Other churches use tongues as their sole doctrine. Some believe that once you give your life to Christ, you are automatically going to heaven. Others believe you must earn eternal life through works. Who is right? My honest belief is that if you are using the Holy Spirit to interperet Gods Word and you are humble to receive what is written, we all should be on one accord. Since God is not the author of confusion (1 corin 14:33). However that is not so, which tells me that we have allowed our pride and other various things distort our understandings of Gods holy Word. So how can we deal with this? In reading John 3:1-8, it tells us that we must be BORN AGAIN to enter the kingdom of heaven. It doesn't say to be baptist, charismatic, pentecostal, etc. It says BORN AGAIN. To me, that means that you must change your life to become that new creature with your HEART sold out to serving God. So what I do is I try to look into the heart of the individual. Is their heart one that loves God and believes that Jesus is His son and died for our sins? Are they trying with all their spirit to serve the Lord? If the answer to both of those questions is yes, then I will receive them as my brother or sister and let God make the judgement on their soul's place in eternity. We need to use WISDOM in dealing with each others differences. Without wisdom, we will not be able to look past things that do not matter. As far as other people belonging to other religions are concerned, my view is this: Jesus said in John 6:44 "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me DRAW him: and I will raise him up at the last day." So if God is not drawing or calling someone, you cannot witness to them. Also in John 10, it talks about how Christ's sheep know His voice. If someone is being called of God and they are one of His, then when they hear the Word of God, they will recognize it as truth and follow it without question. If they are not one of God's sheep, we can preach the Word to them all day and it won't do any good. Remember that there were people who did not receive Jesus' words as truth. Now if there were people that Jesus Himself couldn't reach, what makes us think that everyone we talk to should believe our words as truth? Fact is, not everyone is called of God. And that's the bottom line. Hope that clears stuff up. Let me know. Yours in Christ, Sal |

16 | who/what are the twelve tribes? | Gen 35:22 | bronx hulk | 92101 | ||
The twelve tribes of Israel were the nations spawned from the 12 sons of Jacob who was later renamed Israel by God. That is the simple answer. Someone smarter than me can tell you about how they will all be judged seperately by 12 Apostles who will be seated in the throne room with God. It gets interesting. There are some who say that we all, as Christians, belong to one of those tribes from a spiritual standpoint. I don't know much about that stuff, though. Sal |

17 | Wo hardend Pharoh's Heart | Rom 9:1 | bronx hulk | 91994 | ||
Hi Teresa, This is one of those tough to accept topics. When we really sit down and know what God does, it seems almost unfair. However, we need to understand that God is God and can do what He wills. I'm not saying that you don't have that opinion. But many people try to question what God does. 1 Corin 2:16. "But who hath known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" Romans 9 talks about how God deals with people as He wishes. Pharoh is specifically mentioned in verses 17 and 18. So my view according to what is written here is that God hardened Pharos heart so God could glorify Himself. It's a really scary thought when you think about it. God could have made me to be Pharoh, but He chose me to serve Him. I am truly blessed because of that! Sal |

18 | Who did God punish for using a psychic? | Acts 16:16 | bronx hulk | 91977 | ||
Greetings Jana. I'm not sure if God has specifically punished anyone for using a psychic, however we understand that someone with psychic powers gets them from a demonic spirit. If you read Acts 16:16-end. It talks about the Apostle Paul when he cast a demon out of a girl who was using psychic abilities to make money for her masters. Now it also states in 1 Sam 28 how Saul used a mediam to contact Samuel. At this time Saul was already being punished by God so it doesn't state that God punished him for that reason. Throughout the Word it mentions how God is not pleased with sorcery and things like that. Depending on which bible translation you are using, you could look up the words, sorcery, soothsayer, sorcerer in a bible concordance and find many scriptures about this topic. Those words are definately used in the King James Bible. I'm not sure which other names that psychics would go by in the other bible translations. The bottom line is that psychics get their powers from Satan, so a child of God should not be using psychics to get information. They should be using the Spirit of God and His prophets to get any answers they are looking for. Would you trust your enemy to give you a truthful answer? Some scriptures I found you might want to look at are: Acts 13:6 Rev 21:8 -good one Acts 8:9-24 Micah 5:12 is another good one There are many more, I hope this helps. Sal |

19 | To Marry or Burn?? | 1 Cor 7:8 | bronx hulk | 91975 | ||
A living hemorrhoid! Ha, that's a great way of putting it. The others answered your question perfectly. The only thing I would add is that, yes God instituted marriage, but He never COMMANDED anyone to be married. The only arrainged marriage in the Word is Adam and Eve. Everyone else made a choice to be married and to who. Being married IS a good thing, so is being single. Let every man make his decision according to the gift he has been given. It has been a pleasure being able to fellowship with you like this. You seem to be a very humble individual and thirsty for the knowledge of the true Word. Thank you for corresponding with me brother, Yours in Christ, Sal AKA Bronx Hulk |

20 | How does any Homosexual believe they are | Rom 1:19 | bronx hulk | 91346 | ||
Here in Romans 1:19-24 it talks about people who know the truth of God but refused to acknowledge it. Then God gave them over to their uncleanness. I will answer your question with a question. How does the fornicator, the murderer, the adulterer, the thief justify their actions to say they are living by God's will? The world will use any excuse they can to say they live by God's will, but deep down, they know they aren't. It doesn't matter what part of the law you're transgressing. So the homosexual will wind up in hell the same way the sweet little old lady will wind up in hell because she never gave her life to Christ (James 2:10,11). Whatever excuse people want to use is their downfall. Homosexuality is a grave sin, but is it any different than the man and woman who live together outside of marriage? The world accepts their sin over homosexuality because it is normal. But normal or not, it is still sin and is outside of God's will. So the world (homosexual, fornicator, murderer, etc.) believes they are living by the standards of God because they have had their heart hardened because of their unwillingness to admit their sins. Once God hardens your heart, you aren't going to see anything. Remember that God's word is spiritually discerned. Unless God reveals it to you, you can see all the scriptures in the world, but you won't understand it. So showing a homosexual a scripture will do you no good unless God is revealing His word to them. |
