Hi Doc: The question just sounded to me as though the person asking, didn't want a relationship, with God, but more on the manner of a seeker of knowledge, for knowledge sake. Something else to learn. So I did recommend a Book, Yes. I find it hard to believe you haven't heard of him before. Google it, you can read some of it online, maybe all, I don't know. I don't read or listen either of those people, that you were talking about. God Bless Jim |

8 | Jewish Calendar ? | Leviticus | lookinforacity | 204801 | ||
Hi Tamara: Thank you for the quick response, but it doesn't quite answer the question does it. If all of the first leaders of the faith, were JEWS then how, why, did it not stay? It was there calendar, seems from what you answered. First it was a Pagan, Caesar, then a Pope. It was the Church, that has changed things again. Seems like the Church was more interested, in the seperation from anything Jewish.Also the starting point of Christianity, than the correct date of Easter. More or less a break with the Jews. Didn't the Early church, hold the Jews responsible for the Crucifixion of Christ, and persecute them, like they did in the Spanish inquisition? If we kept using the Jewish calendar, wouldn't Easter always fall on Passover? In HIM JIM |

Hi again Psionspace: Hope Im not bothering you but, Im courious. I personally have used the KJV since I got saved, and have never felt the need to study any other trans. I use a Strong's concordance, and a Greek interliner bible, in conjunction with the KJV, the only other book I use, is the Matthew Henery Commentary. I use it sparingly, most times just to see what things were believed way back in our brief history. sorry for any inconveniance. have a happy! ! |

10 | Embrace the truth and rejoice! | Ps 119:103 | lookinforacity | 204542 | ||
Hi John: I thought of the word (delight) , these are the ones that came up, couldn't think of any better things to delight in. Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. Psalm 112:1 Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands. Psalm 119:16 I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word. Psalm 119:24 Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors. Psalm 119:35 Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. Psalm 119:47 for I delight in your commands because I love them. Psalm 119:77 Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight. Psalm 119:92 If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction. Psalm 119:143 Trouble and distress have come upon me, but your commands are my delight. Psalm 119:174 I long for your salvation, O LORD, and your law is my delight. Romans 7:22 For in my inner being I delight in God's law; God Bless Jim |

11 | May we claim rewards for tithing? | Mal 3:10 | lookinforacity | 205614 | ||
Hi rdarden1: Sounds like you said, we as Christians should not Tithe, is that right? Not to be smart about it, but how far does your paycheck go each week, with all of the needs you see all around you? Is he working powerfully through you? I do see your point though,I also agree with alot of it. But look at the whole context, if you understand how it all worked, then it doesn't matter if the Church gets the tithe, it doesn't go for the things you object to. The Tithes were to be in the storehouse of the Temple, for the POOR, WIDOWS, ORPHANS. GOD was supplying food to those, that did not have a way to get it themselves. As you see in the context of the issue of tithes, GOD was speaking to the whole Nation. GOD said bring ALL the Tithes. IMHO, The Churches of today are responsible for this work, they are the representatives of GOD, to the City's they are in. God says they are cursed for NOT Tithing. So on who does the Curse fall if we don't tithe. It all depends on HOW FINE a LINE you want to draw. TIM'S Church is a Prime example of what a Church Should be doing , can we imagine if all of the Churches in any given City, (GOT TOGETHER) and did the same thing. Why do Churches always operate separately? MALACHI 3: 8-11 8) Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9) Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, (EVEN THIS WHOLE NATION) 10) (BRING YE ALL THE TITHES INTO THE STOREHOUSE.), that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11) And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. GOD BLESS Jim |

12 | May we claim rewards for tithing? | Mal 3:10 | lookinforacity | 205621 | ||
I fully understand what, and why you do it the way you do. I personally think of it this way, where 2 or more are gathered in MY name, there will I be in the midst of them. Does that constitute a church? If you and your wife agree as touching anything, Does that include your Tithe? We as believers ARE Priests, over the things of God, they had the responsibility to distribute the Tithe out of the storehouse, to the needs of the people. If you see it not being done the way God wants, then we are to follow GOD not MEN. GOD BLESS Jim |

13 | Can we enter the Kingdom now? | Matt 6:33 | lookinforacity | 204225 | ||
Point 1, People were getting saved while Jesus was walking around by repenting of their sins to God and believing that Jesus was God (Jews understood that Son of Man meant the Messiah, and that the Son of God meant equality with God the Father as Jesus being also God) answer) Where and when were the terms (Son of Man, and Son of God) first used, ( in the New Test) other than to the Disciples, Scribes, Pharisee, in other words to the general public, where they, according to your reasoning, knew what these terms meant in relation to him, and thereby identifying him as Messiah? Point 2, Jesus told Pilate that His kingdom was not on earth, that means it was a spiritual kingdom answer) John 18:36 Jesus answered, " My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm." Your right, at the point he declared his kingdom to Pilate, he said that his kingdom was not of this REALM. He didn't say (Earth) he said (World) was he identifying the WORLD, as a spiritual place? Earth on the other hand was a created place. We today use these two words interchangeably, but it seems he was making a clear distinction between the two. Point 3, Therefore whoever gets saved is entering a spiritual kingdom. answer) Do you agree with this scripture, as a good way of saying this is how we get saved? Where does it say, we enter a spiritual kingdom when we get saved? Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Let me try to put this into words. Salvation is the first step, in the Christian walk, when we accept Jesus Christ as our SAVIOR. Baptism, the in filling of the Holy Spirit, the empowering of his people to walk in the Spirit. Jesus Christ becomes our LORD, Master, King only after baptism. The kingdom of God is a Spiritual Realm. We do not automatically enter the kingdom, upon our salvation. You need to be baptized, in order to see, and enter the kingdom. ( Words of Jesus Christ ) Flesh, and blood cannot inherit the kingdom. (Words of Jesus Christ) Therefore we would have to be in the Spirit in order for us to inhabit the kingdom. That which is Spirit, is Spirit, that which is Flesh is Flesh. Sorry it took this long to answer your post Have a God Blessed Day |

16 | Purpose of the parables? | Matt 13:1 | lookinforacity | 204999 | ||
Hi Tamara: To answer your question, the parables are only about ONE thing. The Kingdom Jesus was preaching the GOSPEL of the KINGDOM ! From the time of his showing to Israel, to his crucifixion.All of the prophesy's were about the (Messiah, and his Kingdom.) He was going about setting it up, Establishing it, in the hearts of men. That is why the Disciples asked him. Acts 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? ,Matthew 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. Read this PARABLE, it is about the Kingdom , NOT Salvation as people think. Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Here is an example, of the unbelief. Matthew 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. The same thing is happening today, by the Churches. How many Churches actually teach the Kingdom? In Christ JIM |

18 | Salvation message of Jesus | Mark | lookinforacity | 204434 | ||
Hi again John: You have very conveinently put The Gospel, and Salvation together, in such a way that you, are either assuming, emplying that they are in fact one in the same. Clarify it for me, if I say Godpel, I am infact saying (Salvation)? Is this something you have found on your own, or are you quoting someone that tought you this. I fully agree with you, (one) of the underlaying messages of the Bible is Salvation. Where in the Bible can we find, Jesus actally saying Gospel of Salvation, where there isnt any shadow of a doubt, as to just what he did say? SHALOM to you |

19 | Salvation message of Jesus | Mark | lookinforacity | 204441 | ||
Hi John: I don't want to delve into implication, speculation, assumption. From what you have just replied, " And isn't this what we call the Gospel of Salvation" Doesn't that fall into the area of speculation? Isn't that what the Church has done, ( and you just used the correct word, thank you )the Church has" Dogmatically" taught, the doctrine of the Gospel of Salvation, as though it WAS in the BIBLE. Just got your note: Your right I found it also, Eph.1:13, but that also is taking things to the area of, speculation, Just what is the word of truth, and the Gospel of your Salvation, comes close, but I can see where there is still room for doubt. That could mean, something else we could call (Gospel) (Good News).. I figured I could, do exactly as I asked you to do, so I looked up Gospel of Salvation. These are the Scriptures that came up. Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, But alas, as you can see there is not, anywhere in the whole Bible where it does actually say, Gospel of Salvation. Even so we can still agree, that it is one of the messages throughout the Bible. Shalom again |

20 | Salvation message of Jesus | Mark | lookinforacity | 204457 | ||
Hellow John: Yes I am serious, gospel of salvation is the doctrin, of the Church, as though Jesus gave us a commission to preach it to a lost world. The term gospel of your salvation, in relation to the way it has been used, could mean another (Gospel) GOOD NEWS Eph. 1:13 All I have been trying to do is, understand the wording, if we are taught something that contradicts the actual words that have been spoken, (written) then aren't we at that moment being taught the beliefs of a Person, such as the Pope, (infallable? I don't think so!) Couldn't there just be someone that has a false teaching, Like I have heard in this Forum (DARBY) Lastly the Church itself, if the Church teaches something as fact, when it isn't, then your whole belief is then slanted in the direction of that teaching, everything else becomes untrue, I have heard some here talk about the teachings of Calvinism. Get my point? There is in all of us, a hostility, towards anything that does, or may possably threaten our, beliefs, we inherrantly do not want to find out, we have been in error, especially when it comes to our Christian Beliefs. Are we not to talk about, debate, argue these very beliefs, maby perchance, we might find we have a belief, that is not correct, then we should thank GOD for revealing it to us. I could go on, but won't Definitions FORUM 1 b : a public meeting place for open discussion 2 : a judicial body or assembly : COURT The term (open discussion), isn't that debate, in a Court, aren't there differing arguments made? In our own Congress, and Senate, don' t they, argue their points, in debate, discussion? DEBATE 1 a : to argue about b : to engage (an opponent) in debate 2 a : to contend in words b : to discuss a question by considering opposed arguments All I have been trying to do, is engage you in debate, (YES) according to the definitions set forth. A debate on questions of, Christian belief VS Christian truth. If I am mistaken on this , I am truly sorry. Please then, explain to me the rules, of the forum, on how I am to post, without debate. Have a GOD BLESSED DAY |
