1 | Does satan's army have military ranking? | Rom 8:37 | childoftheking | 41170 | ||
CDBJ, All good points you make. As far as Satan goes, I stand on the word. I will not fear what Satan can do. Yes he's clever and knows our weaknesses, but if we stand firm in the Faith, in the Lord and put on the whole armor of God, then he's quite limited to what he can do. James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." I submit myself to God and resist the devil and he has to flee because the Word says so. 1 John 4:4 "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind". 1 John 2:13 “I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father. 14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.” John 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” 1 John 5:4 “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.” We are above the enemy only because we have Jesus in us. Love in Christ. Happy Easter bgg |

LimeJuice, I am not questioning your Salvation, Just this play. This is all I said: "But that doesn't include preaching a "different form of the Gospel". There is only one Gospel and it is written in the Bible. Any deviation from the Bible and it does not come from the Holy Spirit." The rest of the previous post is directly out of the Bible: Can you truly say that this play does not deviate from the Bible? The play has Jesus saying: "There's too many of you -- don't push me, There's too little of me -- don't crowd me, Heal yourselves". This is not the Jesus in the Bible. Just some quotes by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Weber “"It happens that we DON'T SEE CHRIST AS GOD but simply the right man at the right time at the right place." So said Tim Rice as quoted in Time, November 9, 1970, page 47” Tim Rice said, "I regard Christ as a man, placing him on a human level." Quoted from Seventeen magazine, March 1971. Webber is quoted in Rolling Stone, December 2, 1970 as saying, "I personally don't think that Jesus is God." One can draw his or her own conclusion but for someone to not think that Jesus is God, how can Jesus possibly be portrayed biblically? bgg |

Sure Paul Said; "I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some." But that doesn't include preaching a "different form of the Gospel". There is only one Gospel and it is written in the Bible. Any deviation from the Bible and it does not come from the Holy Spirit. Paul also said in Romans 16:17 "Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them" Galatians 1:6 "I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! 10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ" Love in Christ bgg |

5 | when we die where do we go immediately | Bible general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 39913 | ||
Pam, There isn't any scripture that supports your theory. Your theory is shot down("...SUPPOSE WE (OUR SPIRITS) DO FALL ASLEEP") right from the beginning. Our Spirits do not sleep. As scripture states, we go to be with the Lord when we're absent from the body. 2 Cor. 5:8 To "sleep" as in (1 Cor. 11:30 you mentioned) and in 1 Thess 4:14 "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him." in the Greek means "to decease", "be dead". It's our bodies that sleep(are dead). bgg P.S. It is much easier to read and understand posts when they are not all CAPS. :-) |

Ray, You're absolutely right. One still has to proofread(I didn't in my last post) though, because it won't catch "bet" for "but" or "a" for "at" or certain other grammatical errors. bgg |

8 | How is comunion only symbolic? | 1 Cor 11:29 | childoftheking | 39188 | ||
Hi Debbie, If we partake of the Lord’s Supper with “no real feeling of thankfulness” then I think we partake unworthily. Unresolved sin should not be in our lives anyway Debbie. We should be confessing it right after it happen It shouldn’t take the Lord’s Supper to bring out the remembrance of any sin in our lives. I know sometimes we let things slip to the back of our mind. It’s great that you dealt with the bitterness you were harboring. The main thing about the Lord’s Supper is in remembering how Jesus gave his life and shed his blood. If the “solemnity of the time calls to remembrance sin that needs to be resolved” then that’s fine, but I don’t believe it should stop someone from partaking. It’s obviously a personal issue whether or not to partake but none of us are pure when we partake of the Lord’s Supper anyway. I’m not saying that you can’t confess your sin to God before you partake, that’s certainly between you and the Lord. I’m just saying that Paul was not speaking of sitting there and trying to recall any sin we might have when he said to “examine himself”. The sin that the Corinthians committed was that they partook of the Lord’s Supper unworthily and they did it unworthily because they went there to stuff their faces and get drunk, not to remember what the Lord did for them. They had no respect for the meaning of the feast. This is what Paul was writing about. examples: Someone is at Church and is partaking in Communion. If while holding the elements in his hand, he’s thinking about the upcoming golf match, instead of what our Lord did then that person is partaking unworthily no matter how pure his life has been up to then. Suppose a parent gets mad at one of his kids for something the child did. He then apologizes to that child for losing his temper. Now comes the Lord’s Supper and he won’t partake because he still feels upset with the Child even though he apologized for losing his/her temper. This should not stop someone from partaking in communion. Being upset with ones child but partaking in the Lord’s Supper is not partaking unworthily as long as your mind and heart is on what the Lord did for you. If that person decides not to partake then that’s fine, but it’s not a prerequisite for us to sit in Church and drudge up any ill feelings we’re harboring or any other impure thing in our lives that doesn’t make us feel good when we think of them anyway, in order to take communion. More often than not, people won't take communion. As I said, none of us are pure so if this were the case then none of us could partake in the Lord’s Supper but Paul wasn’t speaking of sin when he said, “ let him examine himself”. Hopefully I’ve explained myself well. Love in Christ, bgg |

You are right in that we have to look at the entire passage, especially where the words "examine himself" are concerned. I realize this post is almost a year old but the teaching of having to confess our sins or right any wrongs before we partake of the Lord's Supper is not what Paul was talking about but it is still taught this way. Jesus himself simply said "do this in remembrance of me". The Lord’s Supper back then was not just a piece of a cracker and a little grape juice but were feasts. The Corinthians were participating in the Lord's Supper in an unworthy manner, not because they committed a sin at some point or was angry with one of their neighbor's but because they went there just to stuff themselves, to hog the food and drink to get drunk, not caring if anyone else got a chance to partake and not thinking of what Jesus did for them. This is why Paul said" 1Cor 11:20 “Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper, 21 for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and another is drunk. 22 What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you. Paul then gives them instructions on what to say while partaking (seems like he’s reminding them) in verses 23-26. Now comes the passage of partaking in an unworthy manner and examining ourselves in verses 27-32. Examine--Greek, "prove" or "test" his own state of mind in respect to Christ's death, and his capability of "discerning the Lord's body” JFB I like how Matthew Henry puts it: "Let a man examine himself (v. 28), try and approve himself. Let him consider the sacred intention of this holy ordinance, its nature, and use, and compare his own views in attending on it and his disposition of mind for it; and, when he has approved himself to his own conscience in the sight of God, then let him attend. Such self-examination is necessary to a right attendance at this holy ordinance." Paul finishes this chapter by saying in verses 33-34 “So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.” We are to examine ourselves to see if our motive for partaking of the Lord's Supper is proper. We partake in remembrance of our Lord and how He laid down His life for all mankind. Glory be to God bgg |

11 | what is the importance of fasting? | Neh 1:4 | childoftheking | 38995 | ||
Hi Jayanth, Can you explain what you mean by "what i mean is that if you deprive any thing that the flesh wants then it is a fast by itself" Can you give an example. Strongs Concordance: Fast-- Abstaining from food. "Moreover when ye FAST, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to FAST. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou FASTEST, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; that thou appear not unto men to FAST, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly." Matthew 6:16 bgg |

12 | can sepulchres be burned? | Bible general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 38988 | ||
Hi tom, I'm not sure what you mean by "burned the sepulchures". "Sepulchure or tombs of the Hebrews were generally excavated in the solid rock, or were natural caves." Easton's Bible Dictionary Sepulchure: "A natural cave enlarged and adapted by excavation, or an artificial imitation of one was the standard type of sepulchre." Smith's bible Dictionary. 2chron 16:14 "...they made a very great burning for him(Asa)" KJV "According to some, for consuming the spices. According to others, it was a magnificent pile for the cremation of the corpse--a usage which was at that time, and long after, prevalent among the Hebrews, and the omission of which in the case of royal personages was reckoned a great indignity." JFB Hope this helps bgg |

Greetings Hank, Some verses for you. Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still LIVE in it? NASB Romans 6 1 WHAT SHALL we say [to all this]? Are we to remain in sin in order that God's grace (favor and mercy) may multiply and overflow? 2 Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer? Amplified Romans 6:1 "What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?" NIV Thanks and have a great day bgg |

To live in sin Kalos... it's an expression.... For instance; What would you call it when two people live together outside of wedlock? Constantly doing the same sin. Give me a break. Does every word that you write come out of scripture? | ||||||
18 | who is pure from sin | 1 John 1:9 | childoftheking | 37965 | ||
Searcher, I agree with you that no one can be sinless after he/she is saved. There's a big difference however, between to "commit a sin" and to "live in sin". All sin is bad but we're going to "slip up" on occasion even though we don't want to, but thank God for Jesus. 1John 2:1 "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:" It wasn't I who cited one verse. If you notice in the post of my question,(which was in response to another post) I had cited the last 3 verses of 1 John. John says a lot of "if we" in which the "we" is speaking of all believers. 2:21 "I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth." Thanks bgg |
