1 | Does "find" assume the man is "looking?" | Prov 18:22 | jbw | 88890 | ||
Websters definition of find means: To come upon, as after a search or oftentimes by accident. I say that the scriptures mentioned above means that one is actively looking. We look for God to do a whole lot of things we should be doing. If you make your request known unto God that you desire a mate/spouse. I believe that a person at that time should actively look. Not deseparately look but actively look/search. Now the word says he who finds her???. This scripture and Proverbs 31 and linked together...Proverbs 31 lays out for you what the qualities and characteristics this good thing (wife) should have working on the inside and outside of her. I also believe that you should have a check list of what you what him or her to possess. Do you want them witty, charming, good listener, a home maker, blue collared, white collared etc.... You have a punch list for a house or car why not a soon to be spouse? The word also states in Matthew that if you seek you will find and if you knock the door will be open. I've been married twice and neither one of my husbands came to my front door through osmosis. I was out and about and I met them. Make your request known unto God, ask him for his guidance and actively search...Remember a search could take time.....And there is no perfect person......I hope this helped you..p.s. If the Lord bless us on the way we conduct ourselves works we would be some sorry souls......(smile) |

2 | Why the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob? | Gen 50:24 | jbw | 85179 | ||
I personally believe that He referenced Abraham, Issac and Jacob to show that He is stable or that he has a tract record of doing what He says He is going to do. So,God would reference them so a person could back and read through biblical history that He never changed or wavered in his promises to these men in their times. Therefore He would not waver with us....just my thoughts.... | ||||||
3 | If this is a parable, what does it teach | Bible general Archive 1 | jbw | 84516 | ||
Question 1. This is not a parable, this is an actually event that happen an encounter that the Lord Jesus was referencing. Normally when Jesus was using a parable He would reference things pertaining to the person's live style or what have you. example a sower went out to sow. Or a farmer went out to harvest. He did not do this in this case. Question 2. It's not a parable. I believe that the Lord Jesus was telling them that you will be aware of your surroundings when you leave here. The rich ruler knew Abraham, Abraham has been dead decades I'm sure but the rich ruler was certain (aware) that it was Abraham. So you will know people and you will know the people who you leave behind. Question 3. If there is any symbolic purpose regarding the flame it is that if you die without Christ you have hell for your reward. I personally thought that the Lord Jesus didn't spend much time talking about hell. I thought he talked about the living and how to live. These are just my thoughts...... |

4 | Who actually wrote the bible? | 2 Tim 3:1 | jbw | 84047 | ||
God inspired men to write the bible... 2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 2 Tim 3:17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. |

6 | Explan "Separation of Church and State". | Ex 18:1 | jbw | 84013 | ||
What defines the Church? The Church is a body of believers who believe in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Whose ultimate goal is to win the lost to Christ. And live a life that's pleasing to God. Webster's defines a "state" as "the supreme public power within a sovereign political entity." Thus, what constitutes a "state" is expressly characterized by the existence of a law making and law enforcing power. You are correct both are built on the laws and principals of God. But Church and State should be separate. Church principals and laws are for those who desire to live a life that's pleasing to God. Even if we make a blunder your ultimate goal is to win the lost to Christ, Live a life that's pleasing to God and hope in his soon return. The State is for the save and unsave. It's principals are based solely on living comfortably with your neighbor peacefully if you can. Do good if you choose. To be a part of the state you don't have to be born again just be born into the world. Now based on the scripture below Church and State should be separate...This is just my point of view... 1 Cor 2:14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. |

7 | Is my marriage o.k. in God's eyes? | Hebrews | jbw | 83947 | ||
There are many doctrines out here and different interpretation of the scriptures. Matt 19:8 He *said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way. Then the scriptures says what God has put together let no man put assunder. How many marriages did God really put together????? I mean really??? I personally have never met anyonee and said I'm in love with his mind. My attraction was first physical, the rest came after getting to know him. I've been married twice. The first was for infidelity on his part. The second was he had eyes for my oldest daughter. So tell me was I suppose to stay in that marriage? I first sent my daughter to live with her father and I later left and thence divorced. Jer 17:9 says that "The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it? I had no idea that his heart was like that. So was I suppose to stick around? No Phil 2:12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; You have to work out this salvation, marriage with conviction from God. Bottom line You all are in love and married, which is right and pleasing to the Lord. Based on the scriptures your marriage is being honored by God....Annullment means to void...So if you went that way..Heck He knows he and the woman where still married by a priest of Judge or divorce the courts dissolves it... Don't sweat the small stuff...love your husband and enjoy him until death do you two part....This is my theory only.... Heb 13:4 Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. |

8 | Is there a waiting place for the soul? | 2 Cor 5:8 | jbw | 83943 | ||
I am walking very light with this one. I know that their are a lot of doctrines out here and I wouldn't want to be offensive to anyone. But this is what the word of God says below. Regarding anyones departure into the next life.... Luke 16:19 "Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day. Luke 16:20 "And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores, Luke 16:21 and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man's table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores. Luke 16:22 "Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. Luke 16:23 "In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. Luke 16:24 "And he cried out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.' Luke 16:25 "But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. Luke 16:26 'And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.' Luke 16:27 "And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father's house-- Luke 16:28 for I have five brothers--in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' Luke 16:29 "But Abraham *said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.' Luke 16:30 "But he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!' Luke 16:31 "But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'" |

9 | getting started over again | John | jbw | 83635 | ||
After repenting make sure you are in a Church where they are preaching the Word of God with conviction. Maybe even talk with leadership so you all can deal with what made you go back out. Have you lost everything that GOD HAS TO OFFER????? God is married to the backslider Honey!!!!It's the word of God that keeps us... Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lastly don't allow condemnation come in. Once you repent let it go and go forth in the Lord....Heb 8:12 "FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE." 1 John 1:5 This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; 1 John 1:7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us. Rom 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. Rom 8:3 For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, Rom 8:4 so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Welcome back!!!!!! I would start reading in the book of St. John |

10 | Do I have a sex correction operation? | John | jbw | 83634 | ||
John 1:17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. I would have to suggest that you consecrate yourself before the Lord and ask Him what would be your personal intent and outcome. (Some things come by fasting and prayer Matt 17 verse 21) The Lord Jesus knew that Moses law was just impossible to handle so Jesus came to make the law easier to live with/durable. You would not miss heaven because you are correcting this situation. Salvation is a from gift of God not of works least anyman should boast .Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Eph 2:9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. So this action has nothing to do with your salvation. I am positive that the Lord is not pleased that you are in this dilema but He is here to aid and assist you. Have you considered sharing with a Pastor (one you can totally trust)? I do find that we tend to move on our most dominating desires. So I would say that even though you look like a woman your desires say something else. Definitely go before the Lord and stay at his feet (in his presence) until you know without a shadow of a doubt which gender you should be. I will be praying that the Lord leads and guides you... John 16:13 "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. you have .. God will bless if you wait on Him....I will also say I don't no one on this forum should suggest which way you should go your help will come from the Lord. Ps 121:1 I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come? Ps 121:2 My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. Ps 121:3 He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Ps 121:4 Behold, He who keeps Israel Will neither slumber nor sleep. Ps 121:5 The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade on your right hand. Ps 121:6 The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night. Ps 121:7 The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. Ps 121:8 The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in From this time forth and forever. deep in your heart of hearts you know which way you should go.. but please do the above. |

11 | is jesus god? | 2 Corinthians | jbw | 83447 | ||
YES!!!!!! 2 Cor 5:18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 2 Cor 5:19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. The trinity is made up of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost..... |

12 | Where did the Holy Spirit go? | 2 Cor 5:21 | jbw | 83401 | ||
I would first like to say that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy spirit are three but one. And each deity serves different functions. Remeber when Jesus told them that is good for me that I go away, because if I go away I will send the comforter/Holy spirit John 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. They Holy Spirit did not come unto after His descention and then ascendtion back to the Father Acts Acts 1:7 He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; Acts 1:8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." Now far as a spirtual death I personally believe that He who knew no sin became sin for us. 2 Cor 5:21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. So for Jesus to have experience everything we did. He would have had to experience a spitual death. A separation from God...These are just my thoughts |

13 | Why before He died? | 2 Cor 5:21 | jbw | 83400 | ||
Ps 22:6 But I am a worm and not a man, A reproach of men and despised by the people. Ps 22:7 All who see me sneer at me; They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying, Ps 22:14 I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It is melted within me. Ps 22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And my tongue cleaves to my jaws; And You lay me in the dust of death. Ps 22:16 For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet. If you read the scriptures printed you will see that the Lord is not referencing a spiritual death. Everything written here is aboout the pain and agony he suffered and endure on the cross. Psalm 22 vs 16 says "Thye pierced my hands and my feet. Jesus knew He had to go to the cross but his mortal body had to bear the pain. Imagine somebody hammer railroad nails through your hands. I think one would say My God,why have you forsaken me. Then Isaiah 52 Is 52:14 Just as many were astonished at you, My people, So His appearance was marred more than any man And His form more than the sons of men. Jesus actually looked like some freak up on the cross. No one recognized Him after the tortuous beating. That's why He cried out My God My God..... Last but not least the spirit is always willing to go but the fleah is weak. Mark 14:38 "Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." |

15 | Marring a divorced person is it a sin? | Matthew | jbw | 83194 | ||
Matt 19:7 They *said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE AND SEND her AWAY?" Matt 19:8 He *said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way. The Lord ANSWERED THIS PERSON THAT WAY Because He knew the whole purpose and intent of this person was to try and trick Him up. Plus it is the law..But Jesus came with mercy and grace..... Heb 13:4 Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. I personally believe that staying in a marriage that is not fruitful, where no one is agreeing, children being tormenting by fusssing and fighting, just total chaos everyday is not of God. Tell the situation to the Lord. I pray that both parties are saved. Or both parties are not saved. But definitely not one saved and the other one's not. Because that would be unequally yoked. Bottom line no sin have been committed if you married a divorced man/woman....Heck I working on number three...(smile) And live a blissful wonderful life. This is my thoughts only.. |

17 | High standard of living? | Matthew | jbw | 83190 | ||
Matt 2:11 After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. I have serveral comments regarding this. Upon the Lord Jesus birth. The wise men bought him gold. And I don't believe that they gave him a couple of pieces. I believe that they gave him plenty. Surely the Lord Jesus didn't live an extravagant live. But that wasn't his purpose. Deut 25:4 "You shall not muzzle the ox while he is threshing This scriptures says that one is suppose to make sure that Ministers, Evangelist, etc have enough so they can carry out the gospel without hinderances. Mark 15:24 And they *crucified Him, and *divided up His garments among themselves, casting lots for them to decide what each man should take. I use this scripture to show that Jesus's wardrobe was not polyester. This men was casting lots so that once He was dead or even before they could sell his garments. 2 Cor 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich. Basically what I am saying is that I don't believe that there is nothing wrong with living comfortably or very extravagant. Kings live very well...Why not a Kings Kid? But not at the expense where an individual is lying and taking advantage of people to gain wealth...But otherwise I see nothing wrong with it. |

18 | Tithing in the New Testament? | 2 Corinthians | jbw | 83187 | ||
Matt 22:21 They *said to Him, "Caesar's." Then He *said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's." Basically the old testament speaks about tithing. I haven't read or studied anything regarding tithing in the new. But what I mentioned aforehand. I hope this helps.. |

19 | Should a Minister marry non-christians? | 2 Corinthians | jbw | 83182 | ||
1 Cor 7:6 But this I say by way of concession, not of command. 1 Cor 7:7 Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that. 1 Cor 7:8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I. 1 Cor 7:9 But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn with passion. 1 Cor 7:10 But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband 1 Cor 7:11 (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife. 1 Cor 7:12 But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her. 1 Cor 7:13 And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away. 1 Cor 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. 1 Cor 7:15 Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace. 1 Cor 7:16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife? 1 Cor 7:17 Only, as the Lord has assigned to each one, as God has called each, in this manner let him walk. And so I direct in all the churches. I don't believe that the bible states anything like that. But, if the Minister is given a opportunity to marry a unsaved couple He could at that time take avantage of occasion and during the prayer ask the Lord to draw them by His spirit and saved them. Somebody somewhere prayed for me..... I hoped this shaded some light |

20 | death, being with Jesus -verse? | 2 Corinthians | jbw | 83178 | ||
2 Cor 5:4 For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life. 2 Cor 5:5 Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge. 2 Cor 5:6 Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord-- 2 Cor 5:7 for we walk by faith, not by sight-- 2 Cor 5:8 we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. 2 Cor 5:9 Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. I hope that this is the scripture you were looking for... |
