1 | Hating your parents, what does this mean | Bible general Archive 3 | cuddle | 182741 | ||
Suzievett, I love word studies, so bare with me in this reply... the word hate in Luke 16:26 is a Greek word, miseo. for the most part in Scripture it is used in literal sense BUT it is one of those words that in the Greek language can be used figuratively as well. The passage in Luke it is figurative. Jesus wants us to love HIM in such a deep and long lasting love that love as we know it towards our family would seem like hatred. Our service and passion for the Lord can cause a family to be divided. I have experienced such with my mother and I have a teenage daughter who is completely turning from the Lord right now. I do not know if you have a personal situation in your life that is behind your question, but if you do PRAY. Seek wisdom from godly men and women. I remember the first time my husband read this verse he thought it was arogant of the Lord. He is now a Christian and loves the Lord with such a passion. I know it is a love that runs deeper than his love for his mother, father, our daughter, or me. I have that same love for God. You will find peeps on this forum that have that love for God. God is LOVE He will love you, your parents, your children more than you can ever imagine. Look at what He has already done for each of us...John 3:16 I hope this in some way answers you. There are many things we are going to struggle with in the Word.Do not let it discourage you from your study of the Word. PRAY... the Holy Spirit will teach you and comfort you in the things you struggle with or "don't like" In His Service, Cuddle |

2 | Genisis 6 man life expencty is 120 years | Gen 6:3 | cuddle | 182716 | ||
I am not sure if this is the answer, but I think it could be the way I understand the thing. I am not a scholar, and am constantly learning, and being corrected. With that said ...compare this verse in Genesis with 1 Peter 3:20-who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. NASB Let that sink in for a minute..."during the construction of the ark." Noah did not build this thing in a day or two, it took time! Maybe it took 120 years. I mean, imagine it. These people had never seen rain before. God in His mercy was giving them some time to see He was not happy and something BIG was about to happen. I thank and praise Him He gives us time. I am even more thankful we can use the time to study His word together in this forum. Remeber, this question does not depend on your salvation, and I am sure there may be someone who can give you a more sound answer than I. (you and me both a more sound answer) It is a good question...made me use my noggin! In His Service, Cuddle |

3 | CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP | Bible general Archive 3 | cuddle | 182682 | ||
Are you referring to small groups that many larger churches have committed to? I guess I am not clear as to what you are asking, not that I know the answer or anything, but I would like more understanding of the question for when the answer does come along. Cuddle |

4 | DEPRESSION AND CHURCH ATTENDANCE | Bible general Archive 3 | cuddle | 182662 | ||
Saved, I can understand what you are feeling right now. In love as a Christian sister in the Body of Christ, I must ask, Why are you making exuses and looking for another brother or sister to give you permission to ignore the WORD of GOD? Hebrews 10:23-25 (NASB) Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. Saved, I understand not wanting or feeling too tired,depressed, betrayed, and even angry to go to worship(church) I have been there. May I suggest you find another church to attend even outside the denomination you are accustomed to. It is unfortunate we can be hurt even by a body of believers, but that is a fact. We are all fleshly humans attempting to operate with a spiritual mind and it does not always happen. You are missing out, I was missing out, when I denied the opportunity and privledge to worship with my fellow brothers and sisters. No matter how tired you may be physically, you are giving victory to the enemy when you deny face to face worship and fellowship with the Body of Christ.They can be a source of energy if you allow them to be. I do not mean to sound harsh and uncaring. I do care. When I first joined this forum, I got off on the wrong foot and took some comments the wrong way and even lashed out inappropriately at some of them. Do you know they have sent me personal email that they had been praying for me and my family in their personal time with the Lord...(when we have MORE than needed it...you know who you are and THANK YOU AGAIN) no TV evangelist is going to pray for you by name in their personal private time with the Lord. I am not saying this forum is a substitute for church either, but it is better than the TV peeps. (most of them, there are some I believe to be genuine in their mission for the Kingdom of GOD) You will find many caring and knowledgable peeps on this forum, and I would guess you will receive many comments like this one that will not 'okay' your denial of fellowship (face to face) with the Body of Christ. In Love, Cuddle |

7 | Racial Marriage, yes or no | Bible general Archive 3 | cuddle | 181115 | ||
God actually looked unfavarablly on those who discriminated against those who married outside their "race" If you will read Numbers 12, I think you will find an interesting connection with Miriam, her comments against the wife of Moses who was a Cushite, and Miriam contracting leprousy.
