1 | Women speak in church? | 1 Cor 14:34 | casiv | 25606 | ||
Serious Apologies are owed to women from you men. I am appalled at the responses I have just read within this thread, with the exception of few. When you put yourself above anyone, that is called self exaltation, I don't think I need to go further with this word. I think you need to be reminded of the fact, if it were not for a woman carrying you for 9 months, giving birth to you, changing your diapers, wiping your spit, tying your shoes, cooking for you, cleaning for you,WHY? Because they had to? What is the difference between an Islamic women keeping her head covered and her mouth silenced from that of what I have just read of what you all have said in regards to Christian women? It's pretty obvious in the world today that satan has a big disliking for women, look at all the so called religions in the world and name one that is not perverted, which does not put women down? Do you know why women have been given the gift of child bearing? Because they are more blessed. They have been given the gift of unconditional true love through child bearing. Man has no clue of what that really means so he must put himself above the woman. Since I am not a woman it is not my place to correct you but remember my words in humbleness, that in the precious name of Iesous, you will all be corrected by a woman through scripture, because there is a great deal of scripture waiting for your Female teachers to teach you what Love is. In humbleness I pray one day you see clearly and humble yourselves when the time comes. Peace from the Living Water which is Love, casiv |

5 | what do you think about monday | Col 2:16 | casiv | 25555 | ||
Hello buffalo, Monday is a great day to have your sabbath. I believe the sabbath is to study the letter from the Father regarding His Son which upon doing so with the sincerity of your heart(Matt 13), you will have your eyes and ears opened to the love He has for you and He will heal you. Whether you goto a church or study at home, I believe anytime you read the Bible your are in the Fathers church by reading His letter to you, searching to understand His will. He does not dwell in temples made by mans hands(Acts 7:48;17:24). Mark 2:27 - And He said unto them,"The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Keep reading the Bible. I hope this helps. Peace IN Faith and Hope, casiv |

6 | What are our Rewards in Heaven | 1 Cor 2:9 | casiv | 25405 | ||
Hello shortstop45us, I believe we are unable in the flesh to understand the things we have promised, upon the redemption of our uncorruptible spiritual bodies(1Cor15) through the Love of Jesus. (KJV) 1Cor 2:9 - But as it is written,"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." 1 Cor 2:9 is quoted from Isa 64:4 which says,"For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside Thee, what He hath prepared for him that waiteth for Him," I believe we cannot even begin to understand what He has in store for us nor do I think it is important for us to worry about, because the righteous know not the good they do. I believe 1Cor 2:9 and Isa 64:4 are beautiful verses which directly relates to the separation of the goats and the sheep of Matt 25:32-46. The goats being unrighteous and the sheep being righteous(not seeking rewards for their acts of kindness done in love). Matt 25:34 - Then shall the King say unto them(sheep) on His righthand,"Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: Matt 25:35 - For I was hungred, and ye gave Me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me in: Matt 25:36 - Naked, and ye clothed Me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in prison, and ye came unto Me." Then in Matt 25:37-39, the righteous ask the Lord when did they ever do these things to or for Him, they were unaware of their kindness, and the Lord answers them saying in verse 40," Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me." My point is that the eyes of the righteous never saw Jesus hungry and they gave Him meat, they never saw Him thirsty and they gave Him drink, they never saw in naked and they clothed Him, they never saw Him sick and they visited Him, they never saw Him in prison and they came unto Him nor did the ears of the righteous ever hear the calls from their Lord, which was through His brethren, but they did all these wonderful things for the brethren which Jesus recognized as being done to Him. In other words the righteous seek not gain or rewards for themselves but follow the two great commandments of the law, Matt 22:37 "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind". and Matt 22:39 "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Material rewards are physical and of the world(satans lies), but the Father is Spirit and His promises in Truth are spiritual and are found in faith, hope and love. 1Cor 9:18 - What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. 1Cor 9:19 - For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all. that I might gain the more. 1Cor 10:31 - Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 1Cor 10:32 - Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, not to the church of God; 1Cor 10:33 - Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many that they may be saved. Thanks for the question! The Father and Sons love will be found when we search for spiritual riches and not material riches. I hope this response helps in your search for Jesus and the love He has to give you from the Living Water. Peace IN Faith and Hope, casiv |

7 | Isn't my Mother in Heaven? | Bible general Archive 1 | casiv | 24721 | ||
Hello Mattie, I support EdB, that wherever Jesus and the Father are that is heaven and that heaven will be on earth. I sympathize with you regarding your Aunt. My best friend when I was growing up is a JW and completely embedded in their teachings. His mom and my dad were boyfriend and girlfriend in kindergarten, to give you an idea of how long we have know each other. Anyway, I always go to Scripture for tough situations and the first thing that came to mind is Ecc 12:7. Ecc 12:7 KJV Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. I also believe you should try to talk with your Aunt, but understand that she is also on her own road to discovery. I think about Job and how much God loved him, but allowed satan to cause many problems for him in his lifetime, even take away his children. I would think that Job also had friends and Aunts that believed something else other than what Job believed. Then I read in Job 42:10,11 what Job was given back. Job 42:10 - And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Job 42:11 - Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and ALL THEY that had been of HIS ACQUAINTANCE BEFORE, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earing of gold. I don't believe that the Lord brought upon evil to Job and think this translation should say the Lord allowed the evil to be brought on him, my opinion. This is where I find comfort in hope for most everyone I know. Because I know by the promises of the Father, upon my obedience in faith and hope, He will restore what He knows is dear to me and He has and does always teach me that we all must walk our own paths to discovery. If we were all robots on the same walk that would be pretty boring, my opinion. Keep reading your Bible to understand the Fathers will. I hope this helps, Peace in Faith and Hope, casiv |

8 | Where's the StudyBibleForum? | Bible general Archive 1 | casiv | 24712 | ||
Excuse me Hank, I find this an interesting question. Rev 6:4 : And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another; and there was given unto him a great sword. I was thinking that if the red horse was given power to take peace from the earth, isn't that war? And are not politicians the ones who make the decision to go into war? You know that I have many opinions, like you, but I believe we should get past the feel goods and get into the reality of the spiritual war and begin to talk about things that pertain to it. I thought the Bible is about war and politics/power, and economics/riches and education/wisdom and religion/strength? Perhaps I read a different KJV of the Bible? In all humbleness I put my fifty cents in. Peace, casiv |

9 | Does God uses people to phophecy | Isaiah | casiv | 24223 | ||
Dear Towanda, Please see the answer to tmoran61 at 4:38pm on 11/27/01, which confirms that there are no more prophets and Malachai, which is the last book of the Old Testament was indeed the last prophet. I hope this helps your understanding of the letter from our Father and that if anyone ever says to you they are a prophet, they are not. Peace in Faith and Hope, casiv |

10 | Gen.3:15 | Gen 3:15 | casiv | 24162 | ||
Hello Quester, I support the other answers but would like to add more. My references are to the text of the King James Authorized Version. When a figure of speech is employed(like in Gen3:15) it is for the purpose of expressing the truth more impressively: and is intended to be a figure of something much more real than the letter of the word. The one used in verse Gen 3:15 is for the purpose of emphasising the truth and the reality of what is said. When it is said in verse 3:15,"thou shalt bruise His heel", it cannot mean His literal heel of flesh and blood, but suffering, more temporary in character. When it is said(verse 15),"He shall crush thy head", it means something more than a skull of bone, and brain, and hair. It means that all satan's plans and plots, policy and purposes, will one day be finally crushed and ended, never more to mar or to hinder the purposes of God. This will be effected when satan shall be bruised under our feet (Rom 16:20). This again, will not be our literal feet, but something much more real. The bruising of Christ's heel is the most eloquent and impressive way of foretelling the most solemn events; and to point out that the effort made by satan to evade his doom, then threatened, would become the very means of insuring its accomplishment; for it was through the death of Christ that he who had the power of death would be destroyed; and all satan's power and policy brought to an end, and all his works destroyed(Heb 2:14, 1John 3:8, Rev 20:1-3,10). Hope this helps further your understanding of the letter from the Father. Peace in Faith and Hope, Casiv |

11 | Does sexual lust have roots in money? | NT general Archive 1 | casiv | 24148 | ||
Hi BobY and Bless You in the Fathers Love, Thanks for your response. I never felt like you were jumping on me but thanks for saying you were not. We must test the spirits and check scripture with scripture, I like to think of it as crossing your t's and dotting your i's. Thank you also for teaching and reminding me that we have many translations done by men and they all don't say or mean the same things. Anyway, since the the love of money is the root of all evil(1Tim6:10 KJV) and is the verse which started our conversation, I felt it should be our starting point to figure how sexual lust fits into the the picture. I started by looking up the words "love" and "money" in the original Greek language, as they were written in, in 1Tim6:10 KJV. I looked them up in the Strongs Concordance and both words reference the same number in Greek which is 5365. The Strongs number 5365 in the Greek is philarguria,from 5366; avarice:-love of money. The Strongs number 5366 in the Greek is philarguros, from 5384 and 696; fond of silver(money), i.e. avaricious:-covetous. The Strongs number 5384 in the Greek is philos, prop. dear, i.e. a friend; act. fond, i.e. friendly(still as a noun, an associate, neighbor, etc.):-friend. The Strongs number 696 in the Greek is arguros from argos(shining); silver(the metal, in the articles or coin: silver. There is a well known scholar I like, who was quoted saying,"The first occurrence of a word, or an Expression, or an utterance is the key to its subsequent usage and meaning; or atleast a guide as to the essential point connected with it.The first occurrence of words, expressions, and utterances are generally essential to their interpretation. This is a law we have long since noticed, and have never yet found it to fail." In agreeance with what the scholar has stated and since in English the two words are different by definition, I went to the first usage of the words "love" and "money" in the Bible. First occurrence Gen 27:4, in the Strongs, the Hebrew word for "love" is 'ahab, number 157 - a prim. root to have affection for (sexually or otherwise):-(be-) love(-d,-ly,-r), like, friend. First occurrence Gen 17:12, in the Strongs, the Hebrew word for "money" is keceph, number 3701 -from 3700; silver (from its pale color); by impl. money:- money, price, silver(-ling). Hebrew number 3700 is kacaph - a prim. root; prop. to become pale, i.e. (by impl.) to pine after; also to fear:-(have) desire, be greedy, long, sore. I believe satan wants to be Jesus and will appear as a "false jesus"(Rev 13:11 - "...like a lamb and he spake as a dragon.") and because I believe he is everything associated with the root of all evil, as the love of money(greed, power,envy,jealousy). I believe that the lust of the flesh is directly tied into evil through the original language and the first occurrences in the Bible for the words "love" and "money" in the meanings we have been given, transliterated into English. I also thought it was interesting that within the verse you quoted, 1John2:16, it is written,"lust of the flesh", "lust of the eyes", and " the pride of life" all associate very well with greed, power, envy, and jealousy. This is what I believe, I hope this helps. Peace in Faith and Hope and in the Love of the Father and Son, Casiv |

12 | What does the word mean | Ps 91:1 | casiv | 23692 | ||
Hello Fire, I believe your question regarding Psalm 91:1 has to do with satans final rebellion ( a kind of storm ) in that particular verse. However the whole chapter 91, I believe is also about having faith in the Father that he will protect those who dwell in the secret place of the Lord during satans final rebellion and restore them when all is done(like in Job 42:10). Some good verses I believe to help with understanding the secret place is in Matt 6. I hope this helps. Psalm 91 is one of my favorite Psalms, thanks for the question. Peace, Casiv Matt 6:1 - Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father Which is in heaven. Matt 6:2 - Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Matt 6:3 - But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: Matt 6:4 - That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father Which seeth in secret Himself shall reward thee openly. Matt 6:5 - And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Matt 6:6 - But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to the Father Which is in secret; and thy Father Which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Matt 6:7 - But when ye pray, use not vain repititions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Matt 6:8 - Be not ye therefore like unto them: for you Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him. KJV |

Hi Cheri, I second witness to Magnum regarding the tree in Jer 10.

14 | Did Christ not fulfill the law? | Matt 5:17 | casiv | 22104 | ||
Kalos, It means every time you put somebody down and make fun of them it is being accounted for and you or whoever will be held accountable before the judgement seat of Christ. Hope this helps. Matt 5:17 - Think it not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. Matt 5:18 - For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matt 5:19 - Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men, so he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. I hope this helps you understand how important forgiveness and apologies are to yourself and those who we have offended. And that all is accounted for, all words whether written, spoken or thought. Good luck in your choice of freewill. |

16 | Not mixed Spirits | 1 Peter | casiv | 21932 | ||
Hello RCSROLL, Thanks for your response. Whether or not the fallen angels are to be redeemed I only know what scripture says. The structure of 2Pet2:4-8 is in relation to the "Ungodly of Old Time" as follows: vs.4-Angels vs.-4 cast down to Tartarus vs.5-The old world vs-5 The Flood vs.6- Sodom and Gomorrha vs-6-8 Overthrown With all due respects I think we need to let scripture speak for itself regarding God flooding the world. In my KJV it doesn't say the whole world just the ungodly world.(Not to start another discussion, just what my KJV says). 2Pet2:4 - For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgement; 2Pet2:5 - And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; Based on the above text in my opinion it doesn't appear the angels have much chance for redemption but that is up to God. Regarding "The Sons of God" in Gen.6:2,4 It is only by Divine specific act of creation that any created being can be called, "a son of God". For that which is "born of the flesh is flesh". God is spirit, and that which is 'born of the Spirit is spirit"(John 3:6). Hence Adam is called a"son of God" in Luke 3:38. Those "in Christ" having "the new nature" which is by direct creation of God(2Cor5:17,Eph 2:10) can be, and are called"sons of God"(John 1:13, Rom 8:14,15, 1John3:1). This is why angels are called"sons of God' in every other place where the expression is used int the Old Testament. Job 1:6,2:1,38:7, Psalm 29:1,89:6, Dan 3:25(no art.) We have no authority or right to take the expression in Gen 6:2,4 in any other sense. Moreover, in Gen. 6:2 the Sept. renders it "angels". Angels are called "spirits"(Psalm 104:4, Heb 1:7,14), for spirits are created by God. That there was a fall of the angels is certain from Jude 6. The nature of their fall is clearly stated in the same verse. They left their own(oiketerion). This word occurs only in 2Cor 5:2 adn Jude 6, where it is used of the spiritual(or resurrection)body. The nature of their sin is stated to be "in like manner" to that of the subsequent sins of Sodom and Gomorrha, Jude 7. The time of their fall is given as having taken place "in the days of Noah"(1Pet3:20, 2Pet2:7), though there may have been a prior fall which caused the end of "the world that then was"(Gen 1:1,2, 2Pet3:6). For this sin they are "reserved unto judgement", 2Pet2:4, and are in "prison" 1Pet3:19. Their progeny, called Nephillim(translated "giants"), were monsters of iniquity; and, being superhuman in size and character, had to be destroyed. This I believe was the one and only object of the Flood. Only Noah and his family had preserved their pedigree pure from Adam(Gen 6:9). All the rest had become"corrupt" destroyed(as Adamites). The only remedy was to destroy it, as it had become destroyed. This irruption of fallen angels was satan's first attempt to prevent the coming seed of the Seed of the woman foretold in Gen 3:15. If this this could be accomplished, God's Word would have failed, and his(satan) own doom would be averted. This is what I believe. A question I have regarding Jesus changing form is in Mark16:12 Jesus appeared in a different form than he had in verse 16:9? Also on the mount of transfiguration were Moses and Elijah in the spirit or in the flesh? What do you think? Thanks RCSCROLL I appreciate your thoughts. Peace in Faith and Hope, Casiv |

17 | Is is right to call money a seed? | NT general Archive 1 | casiv | 21924 | ||
Hello, The Bible says that money is the root of all evil. I think the parable that prayon was talking about is the parable of the sower and it is not about money. In my opinion if you want to call money a seed then perhaps the seed may be a seed of evil, since the root of all evil is money. What do you think? I would say preachers have no Biblical right at all to call money a seed, but this is my opinion and I would stay clear of beggars asking for your money. I believe if they teach the word they will be taken care of and will not have to ask for money. Hope this helps. Peace,Casiv |

20 | who are the spirits in this verse? | 1 Peter | casiv | 21249 | ||
Hello Lydia, It appears to me your question way back in February may not have been correctly answered. The Spirits referred to in verse 19 ch. 3 of 1Peter are the angels(sons of God) from Gen 6:2,4 which took daughters of men for wives and had children who were giants(nephilim in Hebrew). Compare 2Pet2:4 and Jude 6 which are considered to be toghether with this verse. They are the fallen angels which were evidently great in size, as well as great in wickedness, They were superhuman, abnormal beings; and their destruction was necessary for the preservation of the human race, and for the faithfulness of Jehovah's Word(Gen3:15). This is why the Flood was brought "upon the world of the ungodly"(2Pet2:5) as prophesied by Enoch(Jude 14). Hope this helps. Peace, Casiv |
