1 | Who is guilty as charged? | Heb 10:29 | mbooker | 95002 | ||
At this point, I am lead to vv 26-28. For if we go on deliberately and willingly sinning after once acquiring the knowledge of the Truth, there is no longer any sacrifice left to atone for [our] sins [no further offering to which to look forward]. [There is nothing left for us then] but a kind of awful and fearful prospect and expectation of divine judgment and the fury of burning wrath and indignation which will consume those who put themselves in opposition [to God]. Any person who has violated and [thus] rejected and set at naught the Law of Moses is put to death without pity or mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. The WHO who 1. Continues to deliberately and willingly sin (v26) 2. Rejects Christ (v28) My reasoning for #2 is that the writer of Hebrews was comparing the old covenant with the new, the sacrifice of bulls and goats with Christ. In v28, the writer makes reference to those who rejected the Law of Moses (old covenant) being put to death. Likewise, those who reject the Law of Christ (new covenant), there by rejecting Christ himself, remain in death and have not been passed from death unto life (1 John 3:14). That's the answer I believe the Holy Spirit leads me too. |

2 | What's the Second greatest" commandment? | Matt 22:34 | mbooker | 94510 | ||
Matt 22:34-40 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments. NIV |

3 | Help | 1 Peter | mbooker | 76509 | ||
Could be this passage: For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. I Peter 3:18-20 |

4 | Love GOD - hate brother | 1 John 4:20 | mbooker | 75719 | ||
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 1 John 4:20 |

5 | Confession of sins | James 5:16 | mbooker | 75717 | ||

6 | Why seek healing for this flesh? | Phil 1:2 | mbooker | 75421 | ||
Good morning David!! When I read the title to your post, I thought you had taken ill and I was gearing up to share/remind you of scriputures dealing with healing (personal favorites of mine! :-) ) but then when I read your post... Sometimes (when depression tries to assualt me) I too wonder, why stay here in a world that seems to be getting worse and worse when there is something better - being with Christ... But then I sometimes feel like I am being selfish. After all, the Greater One lives in me and I am more than a conqueror thru Him that loves me and I am an overcomer. So no matter how dark it gets here, we are to let our light so shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven... You quote Paul's desire to depart. But he also said it was more needful for the Phillippians that he stay... Likewise, I am sure that your 'abiding' here with us is more needful for those you touch with the love of God :)... Another reason to seek healing for our flesh is because our bodies are His temple... as we take proper care of our bodies, we are taking proper care of His temple... I know you will bless the Lord at all times... I will join you... Your Sister Meredith |

7 | I need verses on why we need God's Word. | NT general Archive 1 | mbooker | 74946 | ||
Psalm 19:7-11 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. |

8 | how did god test abrakam | Gen 22:2 | mbooker | 73152 | ||
I believe it is also good to note that Abraham knew beyond all doubt (and present circumstances) that God was faithful to His promise to him about Isaac. He was able to boldly say ‘I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you’. He knew that God would raise Isaac up from the dead if need be… As the old Baptist hymnal says “Oh for a faith that will not shrink”! And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. Genesis 22:1-5 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. Hebrews 11:17-19 |

9 | did God ever stop time for a day? | Joshua | mbooker | 72526 | ||
Joshua 10 shows the account: Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. vv12-13 |

10 | How do I pray for myself? | Bible general Archive 1 | mbooker | 71701 | ||
Here are just a few passages that may help you with praying: I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:1-7 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:12-15 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. I John 5:14-15 Also, as women, Proverbs 31 could be an excellent example for us to study and then ask Abba Father for the grace to follow that example. Meredith |

12 | Help to borrower who doesn't pay back | Ps 37:21 | mbooker | 70053 | ||
Here are two passages that may be able to help you in this situation: And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Luke 6:33-34 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. Matt 18:15-17 Meredith |

13 | Does God give power to Sabbath Rest? | Hebrews | mbooker | 69711 | ||
Well if you look at Heb 3:7-12: Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. Here we are warned about an evil heart of unbelief. Then when we looked down at v18: And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? We see that those who did not enter into His rest where those that did not believe. Now look at Heb 4:1-3: Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. Those that believe enter into rest. Now look down to vv 9-11: There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. There is rest for the people of God. I would say yes God gives us the ability to enter His rest. We, however, are told to labour to enter into that rest. Meredith |

But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

19 | Submit . . . unless it hurts? | Eph 5:33 | mbooker | 66642 | ||
Post continuation: Paul is a good example of a citizen asserting his rights: The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him. And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. Acts 22:24-29 I am going to assume that the chief captain in Acts 22 was a civil authority. Paul himself wrote in Romans 13:1: Let every person be loyally subject to the governing (civil) authorities. For there is no authority except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so by God's appointment Amp If Paul could demand his rights from the civil authorities to whom he was to be loyally subject, is it to farfetched for a woman to act in similar fashion? I do not see an act of disodedience if a woman secures safety for herself if she is being afflicted with physical pains, injures, or potential death. What I see is a woman who foresees evil and hides. Now maybe I’m stretching it a bit because I am a woman, but I’m sure someone will show me the err of my ways :) Meredith |

20 | Submit . . . unless it hurts? | Eph 5:33 | mbooker | 66641 | ||
My understanding concerning Job: It was Satan, not God, who attempted to slay him. AGAIN THERE was a day when the sons of God [the angels] came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (the adversary and the accuser) came also among them to present himself before the Lord. And the Lord said to Satan, From where do you come? And Satan (the adversary and the accuser) answered the Lord, From going to and fro on the earth and from walking up and down on it. And the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who [reverently] fears God and abstains from and shuns all evil [because it is wrong]? And still he holds fast his integrity, although you moved Me against him to destroy him without cause. Then Satan answered the Lord, Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has will he give for his life. But put forth Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse and renounce You to Your face. And the Lord said to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord and smote Job with loathsome and painful sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. Job 2:1-7 Amp My understanding concerning Jesus: A part of his purpose was for him to die: He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. Luke 9:20-22 KJV And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. John 12:23-27 KJV Now :), as a woman your statement caught my eye: ‘Please help me see where scripture relieves a wife of the resposibility under God to submit to her husband because it pains, injures, or even kills her.’ The ‘even kills her’ really got my attention. The following scripture came to my mind: A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. Proverbs 22:3 KJV A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it. NIV I looked up the word for evil at blueletterbible.org: Ra, rah evil, wickedness, wicked, mischief, hurt, bad, trouble, sore, affliction, ill, adversity, favoured, harm, naught, noisome, grievous, sad; other words used to define evil: 1b) bad, unpleasant, evil (giving pain, unhappiness, misery); 1h) evil (hurtful); 1i) bad, unkind (vicious in disposition); 2) evil, distress, misery, injury, calamity; 3) evil, misery, distress, injury; I do not believe Proverb 22:3 relieves a wife from the responsibility of submitting to her husband, but I do believe it is a way of escape for a wife who is threatened with physical pains, injures, or death. And by the way, isn’t assault against the law? Yes it is. And as a citizen of the US, a woman has a right to not have her rights violated. Right? :) Continue in next post |
