1 | no patience and abrasive... | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93536 | ||
Thanks Hank. Your note is well taken and appreciated. Dogmatic though? I beg to differ. Per Mr. W 1 : positiveness in assertion of opinion especially when unwarranted or arrogant (I strive to, and believe I have, for the greatest part avoided opinion, unless otherwise noted and commented that I can find no biblical foundation for my assertions. Unwarranted? Perhaps, I may on occasion allow a bit too much salt in the stew. Arrogant? If The Word is arrogant, then I admit my guilt.) 2 : a viewpoint or system of ideas based on insufficiently examined premises. (I challenge and even request this definition be proven on a post by myself.) I know it is all in the eye of the beholder. But Black is black. White is white, right is right, and wrong is wrong BUT, the Word IS THE word. There is NO gray area therein You are one hundred percent correct in your presumption. I am sure that I have some rough and abrasive edges, however, life has taught me that the Word is generally abrasive to those who insist on continuing in their ignorance and blindness I understand what you are saying. I applaud your statement and will ponder thereon for quiet some time to come. Thanks for your time, Hank. And… if I continue my input to this forum, I would like to hear your thoughts in about a year, concerning this matter once again Brothers in our Lord George |

2 | do you pay tithe on loan money | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93648 | ||
While I had my small business going, I had a bit of a delima of sorts where "required" tithing was concerned. I started out tithing my gross. then I started studying scripture to see what the Word said. My determination was primarily based on Pr 3:9 Pro 3:9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: Pro 3:10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. I'll admit 3:10 made me feel really good, for although some would say that is not why we should tithe, it is still a promice that we can bank on. Although I did not, and do not feel that the Lord expects me to continue to tithe my gross, and considering the fact that my gross includes payment for materials which I purchased in the first place, I have done so since the beginning. As yourself, I feel that anything above and beyond is an offering, and if the Lord blesses me, why shouldn't I spread that blessing. Try as one may, the Lord can't be outgiven. One last thought; Jam 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. So what I do, is not nesssisarily what someone else should do, and vice versa, as long as we are both following the guidelines laid down in scripture and not robbing our Lord with a lack of tithing all together. God Bless George |

5 | Jehonadab. Who is your master? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101511 | ||
This question was dirrected to "Jehonadab," but you answered it Jon. You are now welcome to consider and answer the following. It is apparent that that there was once an angel who felt the same way. I contend that the latter part of your answer contradicts the first part. Like it or not, "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other..." It is apparent which you despise. Which do you love and hold to? It is either one or the other. Matthew Henry wrote that there is no middle ground. It is either love or hate, yes or no, good or bad, Heaven or hell. You are a smart person. You know which you wish to choose. Dear soul, in your own words, what is your problem? Exorting in Christ George |

6 | Will suicide condem my soul to hell? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101619 | ||
John, you seem a little wishy-washy on the subject. Will one who commits suicide, go to heaven or not? There is no "maybe." It is a simple yes or no. you seem to agree in a feeble way. Believers are just as human as any sinner. They simply march to the sound of a different drummer. They are just as likely, if not more so, than any sinner to face trials and tribulations. The only difference is faith. I like to look on faith as a Christian tape measure. Some are tall. Some short. Still some are midgets. I can see how when beat down to the ground a midget Christian might kill himself, but like yourself, I can’t imagine a Christian with any amount of faith killing himself. It seems you answered what appears to be your own doubt. You portray a "once saved, always saved" belief. I am sorry. I have seen where in scripture this thought could be mistakenly derived, but if one applies the "entire bible," they will also read therein that one "can remove his name from the lamb’s book of life." However, this is a doctrinal issue and, I believe an improper topic for discussion in this forum. "the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." Irrevocable, yes. No one can take them away. But one (can) give them up. In Christ George |

John, you are truly a gift to the church. Once again you leave me speechless, (I have never met anyone who could do this. I am truly honored,) for, where I am concerned, once you have had your say, no more can be said on the subject. In christ George |

9 | What is an Apostle? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101901 | ||
It's all in the definition of the word. It really dosent matter. KJV does not use the word missionary. Others may. KJV uses Apostle. The KJV written in "perfect english." How many other versions even make this claim? Per Mr Webster; 1 : relating to, engaged in, or devoted to missions 2 : characteristic of a missionary A "missionary" is simply one sent on a mission. This noun is commonly associated with a religious mission, but technically it could be associated with anyone on any mission, even a demon from hades. (Anyone not agreeing, please verify the definition, for I do not care to defend Mr Webster, as I continually do Mr James.) An "apostle" however is a more specific noun. 1 : one sent on a mission: as a : one of an authoritative New Testament group sent out to preach the gospel and made up especially of Christ's 12 original disciples and Paul b : the first prominent Christian missionary to a region or group 2 a : a person who initiates a great moral reform or who first advocates an important belief or system b : an ardent supporter : ADHERENT 3 : the highest ecclesiastical official in some church organizations God Bless George |

10 | What is an Apostle? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101905 | ||
I have researched the two words. This is my conclusion. I assert that "today’s English," like many other languages is no where as near perfect (descriptive) as the original language. I wonder how many more generations it will take before the commonly accepted definition of the word "love" will sound something like this; Love; 1) Interaction between two or more people, male or female, for the purpose of sexual satisfaction. 2) Indulgence in whatever it takes to achieve self satisfaction. What about marriage? Marriage; (1) The union, either temporary or permanent between two or more individuals, either male or female. (2) Formerly defined as the union between one male and one female or a: the state of being married b: the mutual relation of husband and wife: WEDLOCK c: the institution whereby men and women are joined in a special kind of social and legal dependence for the purpose of founding and maintaining a family. Considering society’s refusal to commitment, the definition has been changed to reflect the desire. Sad! It is happening this very day. What are we Christians doing to stop it? Sitting on our back sides squabbling over the difference between the meaning or two words that not many of us have ever exercised? Exhorting and expecting eventual “digitally martyrdom.” In Christ George |

11 | MARK 16:16: Was it perverted? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101944 | ||
Sorry AO. Righteousness never has, nor will it ever get anyone into heaven. Repentance is a requirement, but you left out the main ingrediant in your post. In Christ George |

12 | The unpardonable sin? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 101947 | ||
Dear friend, there is but one unpardonable sin according to scripture. Perhaps I haven't read far enough, but I have yet to see it mentioned in this thread. George |

13 | MARK 16:16: Was it perverted? | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 102074 | ||
Brother John. I agree, but are you not speaking of Grace and the elect. This is a very deep subject. I am referring to this matter in a simplistic, "milky" manor. Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Does not “believing “include an action? Did not Moses follow up his belief with action? Can one “just” believe in God without following His ways? Does not “what we do” show what we really believe? I attest that although deeds can never “earn” salvation, faith produces a changed life (repentance.) The demons themselves believe. You state “The Bible says that repentance is granted by God.” It does and it is, yet has anyone ever possessed a grant without acceptance? Does our God just “make” us this or that? Therefore; Mar 1:15 ……The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. As is the acceptance of and belief in the Savior, repentance is "also a choice." Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. We are all saying the same things. Just in different ways. Mar 8:18 In Christ George |

14 | Why does NIV OMIT verses in KJV? | Bible general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 86471 | ||
Thanks to all who responded to my question In response to this particular response, I would like to say. What is there, I consider infallible. What is there is not what I had questioned. What was in question was what was not there. I expect that the only perfect copy of the word is the originals. Considering the fact that I couldn't understand the originals if I had them in front of me, I go on faith that the translated copies I do have are as true to the originals as is possible. There are translations out there that are not true to the word. To a layman like myself, they could be a snare. I personally intend to do everything within my power not to be snared by such ignorance and deception. ie "You fill my cup to the brim," versus "My cup runneth over." |

15 | IGNORANCE OF CHRIST BY HEATHENS. | Bible general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 90317 | ||
I can't remember wher it is EdB, but dosen't it say somewhere that "the Gospel will be preached throught the earth," (in relation to the end times?) I'd say that takes care of the "if" in your last sentence; in the end times anyway. As to the how. I would like to meagerly lean on what is said about the law being written on the hearts of the Gentile. But then, the law does not bring salvation so I'm back to swuare A. However, something deep down inside of me says that even this mystery has been taken into consideration by our all knowing Master. George |

Sorry about that one Radioman2. I would blame my dislexia on old age, or the pending aproach thereof, but I'm sure there is a more accurate discription such as simple lack of attention to detail. Anyway, thanks for the verse. George |

19 | A question for false teachers | NT general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 94660 | ||
I do not intend to debate your point, but I will state the fact that Jesus bore our sins AND afflictions on the cross. Many like to make the statement "I was saved on such and such a date." I have news for them. They weren't saved on that date. Jesus died for our sins and afflictions over 2000 years ago. Our sins and afflictions were forgiven and lifted at that time. The date folks like to say they were saved, was simply the date that they accepted what our Savior did for them. 1Pe 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: --- by whose stripes ye were healed. --- Why some are healed and some are not, only the Lord Himself knows. I have heard many preachers preach what the bible says concerning healing. I know there are many who have recieved healing by faith. I am sure that there are just as many whos faith is as as great as any, yet they recieve no healing. Our Lord has His reasons for not healing, just as He does for healing. Accepting His will without "understanding why" is a matter of faith as well. Ecc 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Only too often we tend to think that things should happen in "our" time frame, forgetting about His. Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Rom 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. "conformed to the image of his Son." His Son was not sick or crippled. I don't believe our Lord intends anything other than what He stated in His word. What others believe is between them and our Master. Just as what I believe through the Spirit and the Word, is between me and my Master. Just because one hasn't recieved, dosen't mean that what is not recieved isn't there. If scripture says it. It is true. If one believes in Christ, one will also believe what is said in His word. Likewise, if one does not believe what is said in His Word, he makes him a liar. If one considers Him a liar, he does not believe in the first place. Belief and faith is more than skin deep. George |

As for "missing the boat," it would appear that some simply don't have both oars in the water in the first place. You posted a question. I simply posted an answer to that question. My post didn't ask for, nor is there a need for an answer. As to the posts you noted. Perhaps your answer is therein, so what possiable cause could there have for the post I responded to? George |
