proof verses when Benny Hinn came to Singapore, is 24.15 is probably relevant here the East can be extrapolated as a straight directed direction of evangelistic movement and proclamation historically, from what i have heard preached in Singapore by charismatics back-- " i didnt receive any divine healing but saw many fantastic miracles.

10 | Are you onced saved always saved? | John | yonderfulzonderless | 195456 | ||
always saved because Jesus always answers and rescues provided you are open to Him as one of your topmost Confidants and Counsellors This is a spiritual mystery which must be reflected upon thoughtfully and prayerfully. You are marvellously Predestined to Glory IN Christ consider much of the following, mainly taken from Roget's Thesaurus of the Bible by Day, A Colin KJV: where there is unrest, no matter how legalistic and Religiously extensive the religious law's tentacles are, in the world: what i see as the word of the Lord according to me by contemporary charismatic church prophecy teaching Is. 9:19, OT KJV Through the WRATH of the Lord of hosts is the land DARKENED, and the people shall be as FUEL of(FOR) THE FIRE: NO MAN SHALL SPARE HIS BROTHER and he (the condemned person who is an unbeliever and perishing, drowning spiritually) shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry, and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied, they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm (meditate on the secret mystery of Jesus word, eat my flesh and drink my blood, do this in remembrance of Me, my Peace, peace not worldly, i leave as (my insertion: Priceless Heavenly) Gift to you; "my Blood is Real Drink" for eternal and REAL, ACTUAL life 21... and they together shall be against Judah. For all this His Anger is not turned away, his hand is stretched out still on modern Persia: my prophecy "some of your sons will be taken away to Babylon" "the Lord GAVE, and the Lord has TAKEN AWAY" blessed be His Name Job 1:21 the ark was captured (1 Samuel 4:11,17) David captured 1000 chariots (1 Chr 18:4) Jacob took(stole) Birthright and Blessing Ge 27.36 All the things in the Temple were carried off by the invading Babylon army to Babylon Jer 52 the scapegoat of removal Lev 10, 20-2 Mark 14:41 betrayed into the hand of sin john 3:27 man can receive nothing- compulsory john 15:5 without me you can do nothing john 16:24 you asked nothing in my Name read whole of john 10 particularly 10:27-29 and see everything here as One Fantastic Bible Promise |

11 | Islam vs. Christians | Ecclesiastes | yonderfulzonderless | 193747 | ||
generally, i inform you that modern Islam has been riddled with radical uprisings and political outbursts, including manhunts and assassinations of gov leaders especially since the 1960s Islam grows faster than Christianity because converts prefer simplified religion. Christianity is quite abstract for new believers eg Doctrines on Trinity, Salvation, Sanctification, Gifts, Fruits of Spirit, Obligations to everyone else incl. church not many can make out much from volumes of Systematic Theology, even if it's just a one volume one tailored for laymen like Wayne Grudem's i am committed to praying for believers in Islamic countries who are limited by their circumstances in their ability to Witness for Jesus. i use this simplified adult english translation Psalm 22 For the director of music. A psalm of David to the tune of "The Doe of the Morning." 1 My God, my God, why have you deserted me? Why do you seem to be so far away when I need you to save me? Why do you seem to be so far away that you can't hear my groans? 2 My God, I cry out in the daytime. But you don't answer. I cry out at night. I can't keep quiet. 3 But you rule from your throne as the Holy One. You are the God Israel praises. 4 Our people of long ago put their trust in you. They trusted in you, and you saved them. 5 They cried out to you and were saved. They trusted in you, and you didn't let them down. 6 People treat me like a worm and not a man. They hate me and look down on me. 7 All those who see me laugh at me. They shout at me and make fun of me. They shake their heads at me. 8 They say, "He trusts in the Lord. Let the Lord help him. If the Lord is pleased with him, let him save him." 9 But you brought me out of my mother's body. You made me trust in you even when I was at my mother's breast. 10 From the time I was born, you took good care of me. Ever since I came out of my mother's body, you have been my God. 11 Don't be far away from me. Trouble is near, and there is no one to help me. 12 Many enemies are all around me. They are like strong bulls from the land of Bashan. 13 They are like roaring lions that tear to pieces what they kill. They open their mouths wide to attack me. 14 My strength is like water that is poured out on the ground. I feel as if my bones aren't connected. My heart has turned to wax. It has melted away inside me. 15 My strength is dried up like a piece of broken pottery. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You bring me down to the edge of the grave. 16 A group of sinful people has closed in on me. They are all around me like a pack of dogs. They have pierced my hands and my feet. ... 26 Those who are poor will eat and be satisfied. Those who look to the Lord will praise him. May their hearts be filled with new hope! 27 People from one end of the earth to the other will remember and turn to the Lord. The people of all the nations will bow down before him. 28 The Lord is King. He rules over the nations. 29 All the rich people of the earth will worship God and take part in his feasts. All those who go down to the edge of the grave will fall on their knees in front of him. I'm talking about those who can hardly keep themselves alive. 30 Those who are not yet born will serve him. Those who are born later will be told about the Lord. 31 And they will tell people who have not yet been born that he has done what is right.

Eccl 7:8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning; Patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit. Eccl 7:9 Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, For anger resides in the bosom of fools. Eccl 7:10 Do not say, "Why is it that the former days were better than these?" For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this. Eccl 7:11 Wisdom what this means to me is, even though the world is getting worse and worse on the outside and the externals, what goes on in your heart, the Kingdom of heaven within you is what counts more and in the end, that the key to victory in Christ Jesus |

13 | Verse re: a temptress sent by devil? | Prov 7:5 | yonderfulzonderless | 193433 | ||
let me try something of my own, Prophetically probably today Government of modern Israel, hear ye Proposition of my Prophecy for today: Modern Israel Tempted Astray and Redeemed through Water and Fire Suffering Baptisms by Christ (HNV Judeo-Christian Bible, Public Domain, a revision of ASV) Isa 47:1 Come down, and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Bavel; sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Kasdim: for you shall no more be called tender and delicate. Isa 47:2 Take the millstones, and grind meal; remove your veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers. Isa 47:3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, your shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and will spare no man. Isa 47:4 Our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Yisra-el. Isa 47:5 Sit you silent, and get you into darkness, daughter of the Kasdim, for you shall no more be called The mistress of kingdoms. Isa 47:6 I was angry with my people, I profaned my inheritance, and gave them into your hand: you did show them no mercy, on the aged have you very heavily laid your yoke. Isa 47:7 You said, I shall be mistress forever; so that you did not lay these things to your heart, neither did remember the latter end of it. Isa 47:8 Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, I am, and there is none else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: Isa 47:9 but these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood,, in their full measure shall they come on you, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments. Isa 47:10 For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, None sees me; your wisdom and your knowledge, it has perverted you, and you have said in your heart, I am, and there is none else besides me. Isa 47:11 Therefore shall evil come on you; you shall not know the dawning of it: and mischief shall fall on you; you shall not be able to put it away: and desolation shall come on you suddenly, which you dont know. Isa 47:12 Stand now with your enchantments, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth; if so be you shall be able to profit, if so be you may prevail. Isa 47:13 You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels: let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save you from the things that shall come on you. Isa 47:14 Behold, they shall be as stubble, the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: it shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before. Isa 47:15 Thus shall the things be to you in which you have labored: those who have trafficked with you from your youth shall wander everyone to his quarter; there shall be none to save you. Isa 48:1 Hear you this, house of Ya-akov, who are called by the name of Yisra-el, and are come forth out of the waters of Yehudah who swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Yisra-el, but not in truth, nor in righteousness ... Isa 48:13 Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the eretz, and my right hand has spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together. Isa 48:14 Assemble yourselves, all you, and hear- who among them has declared these things- He whom the LORD loves shall perform his pleasure on Bavel, and his arm -shall be on- the Kasdim. Isa 48:15 I, even I, have spoken- yes, I have called him; I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous. Isa 48:16 Come you near to me, hear you this,, from the beginning I have not spoken in secret,, from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD has sent me, and his Spirit. Isa 48:17 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Yisra-el: I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go. Isa 48:18 Oh that you had listened to my mitzvot--- then had your shalom been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea: Isa 48:19 your seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of your loins like the grains of it: his name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me. Isa 48:20 Go you forth from Bavel, flee you from the Kasdim; with a voice of singing declare you, tell this, utter it even to the end of the eretz: say you, the LORD has redeemed his servant Ya-akov. Isa 48:21 They didn't thirst when he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; he split the rock also, and the waters gushed out. Isa 48:22 There is no shalom, says the LORD, to the wicked. END |

14 | Followers of "The Way" - meaning? | Acts 9:2 | yonderfulzonderless | 193421 | ||
i see that many here are pressing for great Answers Thanks and lets all work your sentence could mean He is the Only Narrowest Way totally through thick clouds to God see former hardcore drug addict, Christian Steve Hill who was pardoned in Police court on Wikipedia and elsewhere. he came preached, buy ALL the Christian music selling even if it wasnt nice, because it is Spiritual Music that satisfies ALL. i thank him for this even though i was one of the very few then who took his advice well. What i regret is not buying the music for poorer believers all around. if Hillsong can do so when they next come, give BIG discounts when more than one copy of the same is bought. i think the criticism writing on Wikipedia-- the expectation that Hills church revival is not godly unless it benefits economic growth is Satanic.(Consider Solomon failure to care ---the chapter around the OT verse on 666--- 666 is in archaic language in the KJV and does not appear as a number there. The Prime Minister of Singapore got 66.6 per cent of the political vote in the last election, a God Sign to the World i believe despite the cowardice of my pastors not to react) at the moment my impression from all my superstars below is, your verse above, He is Dangerous but exciting shortcut to Rounded Success---psalm one. i am a thirtysomething who is just begun experiencing a midlife crisis---look it up on www, and i think God wants me to mourn as well as be joyous so as to remain spiritually sober and watchful (Ecclesiast, OT, Epistles, NT) i attend Word-adherent charismatic churches too, and buy charismatic megachurches Hillsong Church Australia n H Church UK music i prefer singer Twila Paris (DD - meaning she has a Doctorate degree in Divinity, the highest achievable university title in detailed Bible Studies) to Hillsong music because she carries across spirit messages better for me to seek meditation on Bible in awe--- psalm one--- and she is deep into Scripture in her lyrics---song words. i listen to Paris unendingly every day as i soak to saturation the NASB, the AmpB, the NKJV, the KJV, the NIV, the TNIV(despite its www controversy i like the suggestions in connotations of this hypermodern version), the NCV, the CEV, the Extreme New Testmt, and the New English Bible. being psychotic i cannot exert in ministry much. the failure of my charismatic elders to understand this common sense is appalling, isnt it. at the moment Bible study and Praise and Worship via DVD alone is my top priority. to understand Jesus even slightly in a holistic full sense through the Bible you all, need mighty effort, though Jesus understands all. i dont agree that just --one Bible with God around does it all-- a popular piece of getting started advice ----worship in Spirit and Truth, with all your Being Luke and John. i have read she- T Paris is a Baptist who believes Jesus not only is THE way to God, but he is ALL WAYS to God however, i buy hillsong every year because it helps me relate to less talented musicians who serve God well. one of my B-P church elders says that when the Amplified B translates in amplified form, you should see everything as overlapping spillover possibilities of Gospel truth, rather than total truth everywhere on the page. this is not philosophy. Think that through. i also like Christian teenage band Jump 5, who though not deep into Bible training, is full of spiritually encouraging and uplifting songs. Jump 5 won a WOW Hits award for Spinning Around, a song i think means that God loves keep you on your feet busy with His business, like a toy top to my joy, now Christian Revival with joyous thoughtful mourning with the Spirit, sweeps my whole being night and day. My psychiatrist---see my other answer—has his own ideas and calls it bipolar disorder depression, or extreme swings of mood. He could be right, but like Jesus raised ----the Ceaser coin---, the joy of the highest spiritual adventure w Jesus I think prophetically is often BOTH, he sees an incomplete picture, God is my Author and Perfector, Maranatha—see Bible My junior leaders, impressed by my prophetic gift have suggested I break off and form my own church with friends and them. One suggested interfaith fashion with Mormons too. I am now going to seek my local charismatic pastors favour as last straw. Jesus is mine and I am his, his banner over me is love. For application, consider how Michael Peter Fay, a Christian who signed the cross b4 TV as Witnessing when convicted of vandalism who I see as not that serious a gone case and spiritual failure as Hill was at one point, or Diego Maradona who started his own football church, could benefit from your evangelism if they were in contact with you, considering Steve Hill. Persevere in prayer. Woe to oppressive dictators. |

i have no academically certified Bible training, so i will quote from a good reliable Bible dictionary first. i will try to answer by myself later and indicate so then. i have come to see through special Revelation from God that every Bible verse OT and NT can be related to the Church, Jesus Christ and modern Israel, though by my knowledge (and i have spent much on Bible reference and guide Books) no book tries to cross-reference every verse NIV Compact Nave s Topical Bible my impressions: i have the original Nave's Topical Bible published far earlier.

Thoughts bombarded me like fighter jets day and night, and i still excelled in my studies. many psychologists and philosophers i discovered from my evangelism have such dialectical thought patterns. at Lighthouse Evangelism, a church in Singapore i was instantly quasi-healed. all of a sudden during my first LE Miracle Service- these are held every month then, every week now thanks to the Pastor's renewed calling, a volunteer tested and approved by the church leaders, also a new but fervent believer, Danny Chng (who has given me some books helpful to understanding the Bible and Jesus well and anew and afresh in very accurate ways, and unfortunately lost contact with me for some years now due to pager termination) cast out a LEGION OF THOUGHT DEMONS from me in Jesus mighty name and all of a sudden my mind / psyche conscious field came together powerfully where before it was disjointed to smithereens and splinters by fighter jet like thoughts darting everywhere and always very distracting. Praise the Lord! i am aware that i am not totally healed and reliant on medication, but with this quasi-healing from Jesus i STARTED RESPONDING QUICKLY to v v light psychotic medication where b4 i was UNRESPONSIVE TO ALL MEDICATION THAT FAR (dystopia or restlessness as a side effect of starting psychotic medication-- search www) Senior Pastor Rony of LE has brought healing through Jesus even of many foreigners who came from the world over!! see his website. i would very much like to leave my full name or initials but it is against my family-s wishes for professional reasons. LE is strict about public witnessing of quasi-healing ie partial healing, even though it is very very great and A real GLORY TO GOD MOST HIGH!! On that blessed night at LEMS, i vowed to Jesus that i would do my best to meet his expectations of me in every way i could, to my best ability, with the Holy Spirit help. This has been my only vow, I dont take vows lightly i have kept the vow and prospered with God's favour remember this: behind every slightest evil thought or hypocrisy is a demon, or even Satan himself. Demons played hide and seek even with Jesus in flesh on earth and on the cross, and are very active now, write many.

let me try to help you with my current degree of understanding of the OT as applies to the NT and Jesus life. KJV Ecclesiastes 1:18-2:7 can be applied quite exactly to Jesus' teaching in my view "he that increaseth knowledge(wisdom 18a) increaseth sorrow" JESUS: BEHOLD A MAN'S RICHNESS COMPRISES NOT JUST BY HIS MATERIAL POSSESSIONS; PAUL: YOU NEED TO BE A FOOL TO BE WISE BY CHRIST'S JUDGMENT IN THESE LAST DAYS ECC 2:1 I said in mine heart... i will prove thee with mirth...enjoy...behold, this also is vanity----JESUS STARTED WITH BLESSING A WEDDING MARRIAGE, WITH PARTYING WITH SINNERS AND ROMAN EMPIRE PUPPET TAXMEN, WITH HEALING THE OUTCAST BY JEWISH RELIGIOUS LAW ETC. this proved that those "RIGHTEOUS" WORSHIPPERS who tried their best to enjoy yourself to the full gave up the very essence of spirituality-prophetically to confirm Jesus as Saviour!! situations require believing Christians to march for and into war to invert global comfort zone luxury paradigms so that the Gospel may be needed and availed more, my reading. 2 i said of laughter, it is mad... what doeth it? -HEDONISM AND CARPE DIEM, POP SUPERSTAR, DINING CULTURE TODAY, ZONDERVAN COPYRIGHT MANY STUDY REFERENCE WORKS 1990S 3 i sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine... to lay hold on folly, till i might see...good---THE WISDOM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ELUDES EVEN TOP-RATED KING SOLOMON (QUEEN OF SHEBA'S COMPLIMENTS AND CONCESSION OF HIS SUPREMACY IN WISDOM DESPITE HER EARLIER DOUBTS BEFORE TESTING AND PROBING HIM BEFORE HIS WHOLE COURT AND HERS).

Quoting AMP Bible: 1 Cor 5:1 IT IS actually reported that there is sexual immorality [[among you KJV--YOU not thee--individual you in kjv age---kjv you--THE WHOLE CHURCH AS A UNITED COMMUNITY---]], impurity of a sort that is condemned and does not occur even among the heathen(--Gentiles-KJV --probably non-Christians n non-Jews since they gathered together in the same synagogues initially during the apostolic church age); for a man has [his own] father's wife.

[Exod. 12:19; 13:7; Deut. 16:3.] 1 Cor 5:9 I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate [closely and habitually] with unchaste (impure) people-- 1 Cor 5:10 Not [meaning of course that you must] altogether shun the immoral people of this world, or the greedy graspers and cheats and thieves or idolaters, since otherwise you would need to get out of the world and human society altogether! 1 Cor 5:11 But now I write to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of [Christian] brother if he is known to be guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater [whose soul is devoted to any object that usurps the place of God], or is a person with a foul tongue [railing, abusing, reviling, slandering], or is a drunkard or a swindler or a robber. [No] you must not so much as eat with such a person. 1 Cor 5:12 What [business] of mine is it and what right have I to judge outsiders? Is it not those inside [the church] upon whom you are to pass disciplinary judgment [passing censuring sentence on them as the facts require]? 1 Cor 5:13 God alone sits in judgment on those who are outside. Drive out that wicked one from among you [expel him from your church]. i would agree basically with you and St. Paul!! if hypocrites, in Jesus' very coined words in THAT NEW CONTEXT, were to gatecrash into the Church forcefully not pretending they are sinners, we are to cast them out!! however, spirituality on a more glorious level would empower us with Spirit-Anointed Wisdom and Power to discern when and where to impose and not to, ie when and where possible, even to eat and drink with tax collectors to convert their inclinations, just as the Saviour of the World, Jesus did (Matthew 9:especially v10-13 Romans 5:8 1Timothy1:15) a caveat here. Matthew 23:2-3 v2."...the scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses seat 3. all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do, but do not ye after their works, for they say, and (yet) do not"---kjv!!do pray over ephesians 4,Philipp.1 Philipp.1 KJV: v1 to all... saints... bishops 2 Grace be unto you, and peace... from God AND from Jesus 3 i thank my God upon every remembrance of you 4. always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy (emphasis on you ALL or ALL OF YOU reminds us of JCs last words, Father, forgive them, for they know not all they do 5. For your fellowship IN THE GOSPEL... v14: And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear study the follow-up vs 15-18 you should not fear what evil will come of you and your church should the excommunicated backfire in revenge. the Lord keep you in His love, grace and peace as you demonstrate the full outworking of the gospel of real concrete salvation i trust from what you wrote you are a serious Christian, though troubled by this or other issues, how could i help you more? nb if you dont think much of this answer, pray over it and seek others' counsel. this is my first answer ever in my Christian life of nearly 30 years in a www forum, not face-to-face i have no formal theological training i am a lay Bible student who self-studies especially what Zondervan publishes. Zondervan is my favourite publishing house. i like its scholasticism. however i think most readers who buy its reference works dont quite understand much. i am here to help, and i hope this community welcomes and appreciates my presence |
