1 | Is oral sex among a married couple a sin | Bible general Archive 1 | teragram123 | 55577 | ||
If it were not wrong, would so many Christians be in question over it? Not one single Christian has asked if sex between married partners is ok. Normal sex is God ordained. Obviously this "abnormal sex act" is wrong and the pure mind can not accept it as ok. Note that even in the animal kingdom this is not normal. They clean themselves but do not stimulate their mate orally before the act of sex. This filthy act came from the homosexual community and it is pitiful that Christians try to sanction it. Porn sites exploit this as the most exotic along with bestiality. It is unclean and does not exemplify Christ and His Bride in any sense of the imagination. Leviticus 7:21 Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto the Lord, even that soul shall be cut off from his people. Leviticus 18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. |

2 | deeds of the law | Bible general Archive 1 | teragram123 | 57030 | ||
Dear Emmaus You said "Catholics believe the atoning blood of Christ" In words and doctrines you are correct... but not in actually walking out in faith. I was raised in the Catholic faith. Yes I learned the words "saved by the blood of Jesus"... yet followed it up by years of penance and indulgences... telling me that these had to be done to wipe away the stain of the sin and the fear of the fires of purgatory. Following are the words I was given as a child to memorize from the Baltimore Catechism... Glossary - Purgatory - The state in the life to come where souls are punished for a time who have died in grace but in venial sin or with a debt of temporal punishment unpaid. #184 Who are punished in purgatory? Those are punished for a time in purgatory who die in the state of grace but are guilty of venial sin, or have not fully satisfied for the temporal punishment due to their sins. Temporal punishment - The punishment which one is obliged to endure for a time, either in this life of in purgatory, for sins that have been for given. Indulgence - The remission of temporal punishment due to sins already forgiven granted by the Church from her spiritual treasury. Partial indulgence - The remission of a part of the temporal punishment due to one’s forgiven sins, effected by the Church through the application of her spiritual treasury. Plenary indulgence - The remission of all the debt of one’s temporal punishment, granted by the Church through the application of her spiritual treasury Penance - The virtue disposing us to be sorry for our sins; also, one of the sacraments, whereby sins committed after Baptism are forgiven by the absolution of the priest to sinners who confess them with true contrition. Confession - The telling of our sins to an authorized priest in order to obtain their forgiveness. If Catholics truly believe in the atoning blood of Jesus... then their “religion” would manifest it! When I knew the truth... I became free indeed. |

3 | cult by what definition? | Bible general Archive 1 | teragram123 | 57298 | ||
I have read all of the postings to my simple question... why don’t Christian writers name the Catholic church as a cult since my own studies show it to fit the definition given for cults. Are any that are answering and commenting raised in the Catholic Church? It is far easier to study about a religion and speak about it. It is entirely different thing to be raised in it and know what they actually teach. All cults have a store front of beliefs they want to be seen... than there are those beliefs that children are taught and expected to live out. My own daughter, after I wrote a note to the nuns to keep her out of the first communion class, was told to attend against my wishes. She was at the end of the school year and had only a few weeks to complete before we would put her into private CHRISTIAN school. She was sent home with a scapular around her neck and told to never remove it and she would never have to fear the pains of hell. I ripped it from her neck the moment she showed it to me. She panicked saying now I will go to hell. I led her into the sinners prayer again... this time she wanted Christ for sure. That was in 1976... today she is a very strong Christian... has never wavered nor watered down the truth of the Catholic Church. There are semantics used in all cults... say the right words but they have their own meanings. Many on the forum have excused the CC as not being in total agreement with Rome. Hello? You know not what you are saying. As far a saying Mariology has gotten out of hand and this ... they do much of it in violation of decrees from Rome. This is not true... the present pope is re-stressing the rosary as never before. I must cry aloud in praise to God Almighty that HE saved me from it. Had I come first to this forum, I may have been talked out of the Born Again experience. I read the Bible laying on my face before God for two full years, was born again and than laid before HIM for another 3 years seeking truth no matter the pain of being ostracized by my mother and father... leaving all my Catholic friends shaking their heads at me saying I was a heretic... and would suffer the pains of hell for ever leaving “Mother Church”. Had I merely found this forum first, just think all this “divine wisdom” could have spared me all those hours of tears and searching. My prayer is that God in His wisdom will keep the babes from finding this forum until they KNOW their God and can discern the truth from the error. I thank God also that Martin Luther did not have this wisdom of the forum!!!!!! Isn’t it amazing that when the believer had only the KJV, they had to rely solely upon revelation from the Holy Spirit... not man’s helps of the newer easier versions that so many say they like better, because they just can’t get understanding from the KJV. Maybe another question need be addressed... have all that claim to know truth experience the New Birth? God is not a author of confusion... so who may I ask is the teacher of so much diverse truth? Galatians 1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: 2 Cor. 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: |

6 | question to smoke pot or not | Gen 1:12 | teragram123 | 54838 | ||
Not if Jesus is LORD. The only mind altering He says to do is 2 Cor. 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 2 Tim. 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. Asking if I can reveals a heart that is not submitted to the perfect will of God. My desires are still in control. |

7 | Christ did not do away with the tithe | Gen 14:20 | teragram123 | 59588 | ||
Genesis 14:18-20 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. [19] And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: [20] And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. Leviticus 27:30 And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord. Leviticus 27:32 And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the Lord. It is interesting to note that those that do not want to give a tithe will claim they are not under the law but Grace. Yet this action of Abraham to Melchizedek was about 400 years before the law came into being. Christ was after the order of Melchizedek and not after that of Aaron. which symbolizes the law. Hebrews 7:1-10 This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him, [2] and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, his name means "king of righteousness"; then also, "king of Salem" means "king of peace." [3] Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever. [4] Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder! [5] Now the law requires the descendants of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people--that is, their brothers--even though their brothers are descended from Abraham. [6] This man, however, did not trace his descent from Levi, yet he collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. [7] And without doubt the lesser person is blessed by the greater. [8] In the one case, the tenth is collected by men who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living. [9] One might even say that Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham, [10] because when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the body of his ancestor. Psalm 110:4 The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 5:6 And he says in another place, "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek." Christ did not do away with the tithe which means a tenth. Luke 11:42 "Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter “ without leaving the former undone” |

[3] And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. [4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. [5] And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. [6] Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. [7] Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. |

11 | SHEPHERDS OR TREASURERS? | Jer 23:1 | teragram123 | 58104 | ||
Jeremiah 23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord. 2 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord. SHEPHERDS OR TREASURERS? While praying this morning, I felt the Lord saying that his ministers that were called to shepherd his flock have left their positions and gone over into the place of the treasurer. Finances now have become the key issue of the flock, and not the nurturing and mentoring and equipping of the saints. As Judas, every thing that the Lord sees as needed for the hour is now debated from the treasurers view point as Judas did since he "held the bag". Each word from the Lord is now being sifted thru the mind of the treasurer... is it financially wise? We need to pray for fresh revelation to come upon the church... to do the work of the Father... not financial consultants. |

I believe you stopped reading before finishing the text... read on Ezekiel 28:13-17 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. [14] Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. [15] Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. [16] By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. [17] Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. these terms can not easily be applied toward a mortal man Ezekiel 28:13 ... the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. ... 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 16 ...O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. |

I am sorry if my response came across as uncaring. I care too much at times and get very involved in the fight to keep marriages together... not merely defend the excuse so many use today for divorce. I have found that most people claiming the divorce clause had lost the luster of their marriage long before the excuse came about and jumped at the way out... saying Christ made the way out. Did not Christ tell the Pharisees that it was not so in the beginning? Besides if adultery is the only clause for Christians to divorce... why is it not the reason that is put before the divorce court? Everything else is named against the spouse. .. but again as Christians are we to go to court one against another? I find it rather hard to take a spouse to court and still fulfill the Love verse... 1 Cor. 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. [5] It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. [6] Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. [7] It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. [8] Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. But again... if most be honest with their own heart... they were getting burned out on the relationship long before the unfaithfulness came in.... could it be the reason for the unfaithfulness? Maybe we should rename the reason for divorce- selfishness, or love-less- ness? Vows are made on the mountain tops and walked out in the valleys of our life. No body needs a vow on their wedding night... but years later when there just isn’t the spark (lust? maybe?) left in the relationship. That is the very reason the vows were made in the first place... correct? |

20 | allegory of the silversmith | Zech 13:9 | teragram123 | 55570 | ||
This came to me as a email... very good alagory for this verse... THE SILVERSMITH There was a group of women in a Bible study on the book of Malachi. As they were studying Chapter 3, they came across Verse 3 which says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver". This verse puzzled the women and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out about the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible study. That week this woman called up a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention the reason for her interest in silver beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest so as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot, then she thought again about the verse that says "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The man answered that yes, he had not only to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. For if the silver was left even a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed. The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?" He smiled at her and answered "That's the easy part, when I see my image reflected in it." If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has His eye on you and will keep His hand on you and watch over you until He sees His image in you. --- Author unknown |
