'Popular TV preachers 'Joyce Meyer is one of America's best-known prosperity-gospel TV ministers - preachers who teach that personal wealth can be attained through a strong faith in God and a strict adherence to the Bible. 'Following is an alphabetical list of a new wave of popular word-faith ministers who have used television to build large followings: (...) 'Kenneth and Gloria Copeland 'Headquarters: Fort Worth, Texas 'Reach: Ministry Web site says its TV show, "Believer's Voice of Victory," is seen by more than 76 million households on nearly 700 U.S. stations. Show also airs on about 135 international stations. 'Wealth: A ministry official estimates the ministry's annual revenue at 70 million [dollars] . (...) 'Jan and Paul Crouch 'Headquarters: Costa Mesa, Calif. 'Reach: The Crouches are owners of Trinity Broadcast Network, the world's largest Christian TV network. TBN reaches millions of viewers on more than 5,000 TV stations and 33 international satellites around the world. 'Wealth: The Crouches and their son Paul Crouch Jr. said they earned a total of 855,000 [dollars] last year. TBN's annual income exceeds 100 million [dollars] a year, according to the Los Angeles Times. The ministry provides the Crouches a 10 million [dollar] , 80-acre, eight-home ranch near Dallas and two Land Rovers that the Crouches drive. In 2001, the couple bought a 5 million [dollar] oceanfront estate in Newport Beach, Calif. (...) 'Creflo Dollar 'Headquarters: College Park, Ga. 'Reach: Dollar's "Changing Your World" TV program on TBN reaches 150 countries. 'Wealth: The ministry's income is unavailable, but newspaper accounts say the ministry paid 18 million [dollars] in cash for his new 8,000-seat World Changers Church International on the southern edge of Atlanta. He drives a black Rolls-Royce and travels in a 5 million [dollar] private jet. (...) 'Marilyn Hickey 'Headquarters: Denver 'Reach: Her TV show, "Today with Marilyn," on the TBN and Black Entertainment Television networks can be seen around the world. She has offices in England, South Africa and Australia, and is on the board of Oral Roberts University. 'Wealth: Her ministry occupies a 260,000-square-foot former shopping mall in Denver. No information on ministry or her personal wealth is available. 'In the news: She has been dubbed the "fairy godmother of the word-faith movement" and "the mistress of mail-order madness," by the Texas-based Christian Sentinel, a ministry that monitors what it calls "religious deception." Hickey got the "mistress" name for her use of trinkets - blessed cornmeal, cloths, seeds and coins - sent out to followers to urge them to send in money. 'Benny Hinn 'Headquarters: Grapevine, Texas 'Reach: Hinn's "This is Your Day" program is seen throughout the United States and in nearly 200 foreign countries. 'Wealth: The ministry took in 60 million [dollars] in 2001. A news story earlier this year in the Colorado Springs Gazette said annual income now exceeds 90 million [dollars]. Hinn told CNN in 1997 that he drew an annual salary of 500,000 [dollars] to 1 million [dollars] a year. He has a 3.5 million [dollar] home in the Los Angeles area and drives an 80,000 [dollar] Mercedes-Benz G500. 'In the news: A "Dateline" segment on NBC examined five of Hinn's faith-healing "miracles," showing that none of the people was cured and that one woman with lung cancer died nine months later. 'Rodney Howard-Browne 'Headquarters: The River at Tampa Bay, Tampa, Fla. 'Reach: His live broadcasts from his River at Tampa Bay Church stream online on his Internet site www.revival.com and can be seen worldwide. 'Wealth: He and his wife, Adonica, oversee his 16 million [dollar] church, which they founded in 1996. The couple live in a six-bedroom, four-bath lakefront home on Cory Lake in northwest Tampa. The home includes a dock, spa, pool and gazebo. 'In the news: Howard-Browne has called himself the "bartender of holy laughter." Holy laughter was a controversial movement that swept evangelical circles in the mid-1990s. He would walk on stage laughing uncontrollably. The congregation would begin laughing. Howard-Browne would sweep his arm toward the crowd. People would appear "drunk on the Holy Spirit" and slide out of their chairs or dance in the aisles.' ____________________ St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 11/18/2003 (http://www.stltoday.com/) --Radioman2 |

2 | Kathy, Is "Lifting His name" Biblical? | John 12:32 | Radioman2 | 104127 | ||
Amen! Hank: As usual, a thread that starts out with a simple, straightforward question ends up being a free-for-all of name calling and personal attacks. I agree with you: it is high time to end both of these loose-cannon threads. So my advice to all the combatants on these threads is: It's time to wrap it up. This foolishness will not go on forever. Have a nice day. Radioman2 |

3 | Are we listening to each other? | John 12:32 | Radioman2 | 104073 | ||
Boys and Girls: Christian music (i.e., the preferred style, traditional or contemporary), believe it or not, is one of the most controversial issues in the church today. Isn't this thread (Is lifting His name related to this vs?) long enough without tacking on an off-topic sub-thread? It might be better to post a new question to start a new and separate thread on styles of Christian music. Just a suggestion. :-) I'm not scolding anyone. --Radioman2 |

Jesus said, "Go . . . and make disciples . . ." (Matthew 28:19), not, "Make converts to your own thoughts and opinions." ____________________ "It takes God a long time to get us to stop thinking that unless everyone sees things exactly as we do, they must be wrong." ____________________ "Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free . . ." (Galatians 5:1). "A spiritually-minded person will never come to you with the demand-"Believe this and that"; a spiritually-minded person will demand that you align your life with the standards of Jesus. We are [asked]...to believe the One whom the Bible reveals (see John 5:39-40). We are called to present liberty for the conscience of others, not to bring them liberty for their thoughts and opinions. And if we ourselves are free with the liberty of Christ, others will be brought into that same liberty -- the liberty that comes from realizing the absolute control and authority of Jesus Christ. "Always measure your life solely by the standards of Jesus. Submit yourself to His yoke, and His alone; and always be careful never to place a yoke on others that is not of Jesus Christ. It takes God a long time to get us to stop thinking that unless everyone sees things exactly as we do, they must be wrong. That is never God's view. There is only one true liberty -- the liberty of Jesus at work in our conscience enabling us to do what is right. "Don't get impatient with others. Remember how God dealt with you -- with patience and with gentleness. But never water down the truth of God. Let it have its way and never apologize for it. Jesus said, "Go . . . and make disciples . . ." (Matthew 28:19), not, "Make converts to your own thoughts and opinions." (http://www1.gospelcom.net/rbc/utmost/devo/05-06.shtml) --Radioman2 |

[I am posting this Note to myself so it will not appear that I'm targeting anyone in particular.

7 | If the crucifixion occurred on Friday... | Matt 12:40 | Radioman2 | 104038 | ||
The best method of interpretation? Many hold to the strange notion that: the best method of interpretation is to read the text of the Bible and whatever comes to mind first must automatically be the right interpretation. Some have advised/implied that we should assassinate our brains, throw out all our study Bibles and reference books, and forget the fact that Christ has given to the church teachers, many of whom write books. (Has anyone ever heard the saying, "You can't fix stupid"?) --Radioman2 |

8 | If the crucifixion occurred on Friday... | Matt 12:40 | Radioman2 | 104037 | ||
If the crucifixion occurred on Friday... "If Christ was crucified on a Friday, and His resurrection occurred on the first day of the week, by Hebrew reckoning this would qualify as 3 days and 3 nights." "ALL SORTS OF ELABORATE SCHEMES HAVE BEEN DEVISED TO SUGGEST THAT CHRIST MIGHT HAVE DIED ON A WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY" ____________________ "Three days and three nights. (Matt 12:40) This phrase does not necessarily require that 72 hours elapse between Christ's death and resurrection, for the Jews reckoned part of a day to be as a whole day. Thus this prophecy can be properly fulfilled if the crucifixion occurred on Friday." (Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1976, 1978) "'Three days and three nights' was an emphatic way of saying "three days," and by Jewish reckoning this would be an apt way of expressing a period of time that includes parts of 3 days. Thus, if Christ was crucified on a Friday, and His resurrection occurred on the first day of the week, by Hebrew reckoning this would qualify as 3 days and 3 nights. "ALL SORTS OF ELABORATE SCHEMES HAVE BEEN DEVISED TO SUGGEST THAT CHRIST MIGHT HAVE DIED ON A WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY, just to accommodate the extreme literal meaning of these words. But the original meaning would not have required that sort of wooden interpretation (emphasis added)" (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1415, Word Publishing, 1997). --Radioman2 |

Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. A reminder to all of us: It is inappropriate and abusive to label other posters antichrist, to tell them we are attempting to correct their thinking, or to give them directives. The Study Bible Forum does not exist to provide a platform for any individual to prove that he is right. That is not the stated purpose of Study Bible Forum. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up (1Cor. 8:1). Even real knowledge puffs up, but if we overestimate our knowledge, it becomes even worse. "...We sometimes tend to think we know all we need to know to answer these kinds of questions - but sometimes our humble hearts can help us more than our proud minds. We never really know enough until we recognize that God alone knows it all." (1 Cor. 8:1-3 The Message) According to the Lockman Foundation, sponsors of the Forum: "Postings must not be intended as a PERSONAL ATTACK on other users of this forum. They must not be submitted as an effort to foster debates, arguments, divisiveness, ill-will, dissension or disruptions to this forum." "To adhere to StudyBibleForum's intended purpose, please read the following before submitting a post: (...) "2. This post is not intended as a PERSONAL ATTACK on the authority of the Bible OR ON OTHER USERS of this forum. "3. This post is not submitted as an effort to foster divisiveness, ill-will, dissension or other disruptions to this forum." (Emphasis added.) Grace to all, Radioman2 |

10 | Slain or knocked down | Eph 4:14 | Radioman2 | 103997 | ||
Kathy: Yes, "slain in the Spirit" does cross denominational lines. In some cases there are people whose denomination does not teach or practice slain in the Spirit. Yet there may be individuals within those denominations who do practice it. Many groups who practice slain in the Spirit identify themselves as independents or charismatics. It should be noted that Pentecostal and charismatic are two different words with two different meanings. That is, charismatic is not just another way of saying Pentecostal. Not all charismatics are Pentecostals. I am pleased to see that BradK has provided some excellent information regarding this topic. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

11 | Slain or knocked down | Eph 4:14 | Radioman2 | 103992 | ||
Kathy: Slain in the Spirit is not a belief or practice that is followed in all Pentecostal churches. In my own church, Assembly of God, some pastors and congregations may practice it, but many do not. --Radioman2 :-) |

EdB: Thank you for getting to the heart of the matter (regarding the original question) and providing us with this factual information. As I said earlier regarding the exact wording that the questioner asked about, it's either in the Bible or it isn't. If it can't be found in any concordance, it's because it simply is not in the Bible. Moreover the original question was not: Where is this concept found in the Bible? It was: Where does it SAY in the Bible: 'the Holy Spirit moves in mysterious ways?' We know what the Bible means by what it SAYS. Grace to you, Radioman2 |

"What does this text say to us, anyway?" - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Avoid adlibbing in Bible interpretation. Avoid free wheeling in Bible interpretation." - - - - - - - - - - - - - 'Avoid superficial interpretation...avoid superficial interpretation. One of the common problems in interpreting the Bible is this little phrase, "This verse means to me...." so forth and so forth and so forth. Let me tell you something. It doesn't matter what it means to you, the question is what would it mean if you didn't live? What would it mean if you didn't exist? What does it mean period is the issue, not what does it mean to you. 'Sometimes you'll hear people get together and supposedly have a Bible study which is little more than a pooling of ignorance. People say, "Well, I look at this verse and I feel this verse is saying..." It doesn't matter what you feel. That has nothing to do with it. It's not a matter of how you feel about the verse, it's not a matter of what you think it means to you. Avoid adlibbing in Bible interpretation. Avoid free wheeling in Bible interpretation. Haphazard handling of God's Word. 'We all want to acknowledge the priesthood of the believer...yes, we all want to acknowledge that we have anointing from God, the Spirit of God who dwells within us and the Spirit of God who dwells within us is the teacher who teaches us. We all want to acknowledge that. But that is not justification for flippancy dealing with Scripture. That's why in 1 Timothy 5:17 it says, "The elders who work hard in the Scripture are worthy of double honor." It is hard work. 'Avoid superficial interpretation. Avoid "this means to me." That is not a statement that should preface any interpretation of Scripture. The question is, what does it mean if you don't exist? What did it mean before you were born? And what will mean it after you're dead? What does it mean to people who will never meet you? What does it mean period, is the issue' (www.gty.org). |

16 | Marriage and Anger | 1 Cor 7:15 | Radioman2 | 103856 | ||
The contrast is not between inspired teaching and uninspired teaching. 1Corinthians 7:1-12. "(7:12) In vv. 1-12 the contrast is not between inspired teaching and uninspired teaching, as some have supposed. In vv. 10-11 Paul is repeating in substance something already taught by the Lord; but in v. 12 he is dealing with a situation not covered by our Lord's teaching. Instead of disclaiming inspiration for what he writes in v. 12, the apostle is actually claiming for his own words here the same authority as for the words of Christ Himself" (note at 1 Cor 7:12, New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967). Please note: in 1 Cor 7:12 "*I...say.* Not a denial of inspiration or an indication that Paul is giving human opinion, but simply a way of saying that Jesus had not spoken on this and God had not previously given revelation on the matter, as Paul was then writing" (p. 1738, MacArthur Study Bible, Word, 1997) |

Matt. 19:9 KJV And I say unto you, Whosoever shall PUT AWAY his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. NKJV And I say to you, whoever DIVORCES his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery." NASB "And I say to you, whoever DIVORCES his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery." AMPLIFIED I say to you: whoever dismisses (repudiates, DIVORCES) his wife, except for unchastity, and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. ESV And I say to you: whoever DIVORCES his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery." NIV "I tell you that anyone who DIVORCES his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery." (Emphasis added.) --Radioman2 |

Divorce: Legal Separation or Dissolution? There are Scriptural grounds for divorce: adultery or desertion. The key to answering the question lies in the proper understanding of the word divorce and what it means, including what it meant to the average Greek, Roman or Jew of the first century when he heard the word. A tradition dating back centuries and beginning with the Roman Catholic Church views divorce as "legal separation from bed and board." And that's all divorce is in this tradition. However, The people of the time of Jesus' earthly ministry, both Jews and Greeks, properly understood that divorce was the "dissolution of the marriage bond just as though it had never existed." If one accepts the second definition (the definition that is true both Biblically and historically), then he can only come to one conclusion: The RIGHT TO DIVORCE carries with it THE RIGHT TO REMARRY. If it doesn't, then divorce is not dissolution of the marriage bond just as though it had never existed. Instead divorce becomes legal separation from bed and board, nothing else. Which definition to follow: the popular one (legal separation) or the historically and Biblically sound one (dissolution of the marital bond, which carries with it the right to remarry)? ____________________ See the book "The Right to Remarry" by Dwight Hervey, Hardcover (September 1975), Fleming H Revell Co; ISBN: 0800707583.

"not under bondage" 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. NASB 1 Corinthians 7:15 'God's utter hatred of divorce is very clear in Scripture. 'Nonetheless, there are two extraordinary cases in which Scripture teaches that God does permit divorced people to remarry. 'First, note that Jesus Himself included this exception clause: "Whosoever shall put away his wife, *except it be for fornication*, and shall marry another, committeth adultery" (Matt. 19:9, King James Version, emphasis added). He allows an exception in this one case, only "because of the hardness of your hearts" (Matt. 19:8). Clearly, Jesus is treating divorce as a last resort, only to be sought in the case of hard-hearted adultery. 'The apostle Paul (writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit) allows one more reason for divorce: if an unbelieving spouse abandons a believer, the believer is under no obligation in such a case (1 Cor. 7:15). This would free the abandoned spouse to remarry. 'But we must emphasize that apart from those two specific, exceptional cases, divorce is not sanctioned in Scripture.' (http://www.gty.org/IssuesandAnswers/archive/divorce.htm) Scripture clearly gives two cases in which there is grounds for divorce, which carries with it the right to remarry -- adultery and desertion. More extensive answers to this question are available in John MacArthur, The Fulfilled Family (Chicago: Moody, 1981); and, The MacArthur New Testament Commentary: Matthew 16-23,(Chicago: Moody, 1988).
