1 | Reveren, biblical or not? | Bible general Archive 3 | TheCurtMan000 | 183231 | ||
Thank-you all for your replies. As I stated earlier, I was not equiped at the time for such a question. I was aware of reverend being used as an action towards God, not as a title for man. If I'm understanding my information correctly, it was first used as a title towards a woman back in 1449; sheperdness around 1598; physicians around 1612; sires around 1637; judges, clergy, and gentry around 1704. It is defined a number of ways, however; in this particular case it's defined as, "a respectful epithet applied to members of the clergy." | ||||||
2 | who are jehovahs witnesses | Bible general Archive 3 | TheCurtMan000 | 183325 | ||
Kalos, banned from a couple of chat rooms huh?? I didn't know they exsisted. I would very much be interested in a few addresses if you don't mind. I read your post and agree with 99 per-cent of everything you said. However; there is this one thing, and it's not that I disagree with it, I'm just unaware of it. I didn't know that the Witnesses were prohibited from reading their own back dated material. This is normally what I used during my encounters with them. Their quotes, their material, nothing else seems to work. By the way, have you read 'Reasoning from the scriptures with the Jehovah Witnesses' by Ron Rhodes and Hank Hanegraaff? excellent book. |

3 | Why God favours David over Saul | 2 Sam 7:15 | TheCurtMan000 | 182999 | ||
I also would like to add, if I may. In the case of David and Saul, David went and sought forgivenes of the Lord with all his heart. I don't recall scripture saying that about Saul. Isn't part of what makes us God's children is the desire to repent from our sin? And this is part of what made David a man's after God's own heart. I can not recall scripture sayint that about either Saul or Esau. | ||||||
4 | Speaking In Tounges | 1 Cor 14:13 | TheCurtMan000 | 183241 | ||
I remember my first experience with speaking in tongues. I was invited to a church by a friend. I went. At the end of the service the Pastor said that if anyone wasn't satisfied with their relationship with God, to come forward. Being less than perfect and knowing it, I went forward. We were all taken in the back. It was maybe six or eight of us. The Pastor then requested that we start speaking in tongues. I'm thinking to myself, “Dude must be crazy”. He patiently went through all the other people, taking his time and telling them to just say the first thing that came to mind. And he stayed on them until they got it right. Then it was my turn. Now I had three major problems besides being totally pressured. 1.) I did not have the gift of tongues. 2.) I never professed to have the gift of tongues. And 3.) My feet wasn't moving. I didn't know what to do. My head said, “leave”, my feet wasn't moving, and this guy was standing over me waiting. So, I faked the entire show. I ran a bunch of unintelligent words together, and spoke them as fast as I could. The Pastor smiled and said, “Good”. Now this had to be the most uncool thing that I've ever did. I didn't take lying in God's house likely. I explained all this to my pastor. And he explained to me that the gift of tongues was nolonger necessary for today. He took me to Hebrews 1:1-2 that says, “God, who at sundry times and in divers mannes spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2) Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son....” He said there was times when God spoke to man many different ways; dreams, visions, the gift of tongues so forth and so on. But today he said, all that God had to say to man, he has said through Jesus Christ. I hold true to that belief today. Since then I've encounter goo-gobs of people who speaks in tongues and there are two things I've always pondered over. 1.) An Interperter. Millions of people profess to the Spiritual Gift of Speaking in Tongues, but no one seem to Profess to the Spiritual Gift of Interpertation, at least no one that I know of, (maybe I need to broaden my circle of friends). The second thing that I've found curious is the Lack of Understanding. Personally, when I approach God the Father in prayer, I like to know what it is that I'm saying, or agreeing to. Anything less I would find totally disturbing. I do not profess to; speaking in Tongues, perfection, or even knowing everything. I do confess to being curious over this matter espicially when the word of God tends to specify them. |
