1 | Have we been resisting the holy spirit? | 1 Cor 14:22 | leolipwee | 51414 | ||
yes, i believe that the Holy Spirit is the gift, the promise, and the power from GOD. But in my study, i found that the Holy Spirit is not only a witness to GOD, it gives the person personal edification, the power to speak in tongues, to have knowledge, teachings, revelations, as well as prophesies. as for Acts 1:8, it is true that it is mentioned they recieved power, but what? in this chapter, we have just seen the power of speaking in tongues when they were filled with the Holy Spirit so that they might be a witness and believe in the preaching of the Gospel. as for the 8-11 times the filling occurs, can you point it out to me so that i can make a study? for your comments on that '...When I talk about the holy spirit it is a new way to "not look at God", in a sense...' i'll explain why that is so for me. i never saw GOD the same way a long time ago (when i wasn't saved yet) even though i have been reading the Bible, yearning to find truths. when i was saved, and recieved the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to the Bible, enabling me to find JESUS in many OT books in the Bible where His name wan't mentioned at all. As i found out later, the reason why even though i have read them and not understood and seen, was that simply the Holy Spirit have yet revealed the mysteries to me. also, i am not too sure why would there be the need to put the "Holy Spirit" as the "holy spirit", that is to put it down. The Holy Spirit in the verses that you have pointed out, has almost always gave the people the power to speak in tongues, to have knowledge, teachings, revelations, as well as prophesies (which is strengthen in 1 Corinthian 14). But even as all that are in this forum, and discussing about the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit IS working in us, spurring us to the truth about JESUS and our FATHER GOD. I don't think we can resist the Holy Spirit once we are saved because the Holy Spirit was sent to us from out FATHER GOD for a purpose (John 16:7-15). moreover, what GOD had cleansed and done, we are not to call it dirty and uncommon. Through one man's (Adam) sin, the world fell, and through one man's (JESUS) obedience, the world (for those accepted JESUS as their saviour) rose in victory. i hear your heart, and i pray that my young walk with JESUS have helped you. Shalom, leolipwee |

2 | What is Jesus's point? Perfectionism? | Matt 5:48 | leolipwee | 51341 | ||
yes it is OT teaching! the reason is JESUS was saying this, is because He had not DIED yet. He have not yet taken away the sins of the world and moreover, He has to be perfect before GOD's laws, or else he would miss the mark (or sin), which is the reason He was here! The people He spoke to at that time weren't saved like us AND because JESUS made the mark for us, i don't think we can ever miss the mark... may my young walk with JESUS help you. shalom leolipwee |

3 | speaking in tongues | 1 Cor 14:22 | leolipwee | 51339 | ||
i don't have bibilcal explanation for this but i have this theory - The Holy Spirit was given to us as a witness to the truths about GOD's matters. So for one to know whether or not you are in THE Holy Spirit while speaking in tongues, then test it. What are you speaking in tongues for? 1 Corinthians 14:22 states that tongues are used as a sign for unbelievers (that they might hear a foriegn tongue and yet still understand, Acts 1:6 to 1:11) and for believers (that they may hear revelations, knowledge, prophesies or teachings, 1 Corinthians 14:6) so if you speak in tongues and you are in front of unbelievers, do they understand? if you are in front of believers, do they have revelations, knowledge, prophesies or teachings? i don't know whether my answer have been helpful, but i pray that my young walk with JESUS helped you (ot others) somehow. Shalom, leolipwee |

4 | Belive in "The Good News" or Jesus? | Mark 16:16 | leolipwee | 51262 | ||
hello Treadway, hope i can shed some light. Mark 16:16 can be understood if you read the context of the passage, starting from Mark 16:9 to Mark 16:15. The passages simply states that, Jesus is risen from the dead. To put it simply, it is then to believe that Jesus have risen from the dead. Mark 16:15 then seals the belief as the gospel that they are to preach. The gospel, of course, is that Jesus, the SON of GOD, came down to be a MORTAL man. Fulfilling GOD's laws for us, he was put to DEATH for US and he then RAISED from the DEAD in VICTORY over the prince of this world, satan. So i think it does partially mean to believe in Jesus as the SON. Mark 16:17 states that signs will follow those who believe in HIS name, so yes, ALL believers should be able to do. The key then of course, is our faith in HIS name. I have been praying as well to reach out to such a level of faith. but i despaired not, because in 1 Corinthian 12:4 i found the following text: "There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit". Reading the entire chapter, you'll find that it speaks of working miracle, speaking in tongues etc. as for Mark 16:18, in NKJV Bible it is written "they will take up serpents; and if ..." the word "take up" in Greek is "airo", which can also mean "remove", "take away", "cast away". It signifies no fear possible of the devil, as the two are often paired together. Regarding the poison, amen to that too. Reach out for that promise. i hope that my young walk with Jesus can help you, as it had to mine. Shalom to you, my brother/sister in Christ, leolipwee |

5 | Who else besides Cain, Adam, and Eve? | Genesis | leolipwee | 16210 | ||
There are many other beings that were there. There is no mentioned that it must be another man who can kill Cain. It could have been animals, giants etc. The proof of having the above mentioned beings existence are in: Genesis 2:19, it is mentioned "And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; ..." Genesis 6:4, it is mentioned "There were giants in the earth in those days; ..." |
