1 | reminds me of GREAT book I just finished | 1 Cor 16:14 | 2Tim215 | 182820 | ||
This verse makes me think of a AMAZING book I just read called "Changed into his Image" by Jim Berg. The book is pretty much "the bible for dummies" if you'll pardon the expression. It pretty much covers the whole reason for Christianity; why we needed Jesus in the first place (our sin problem), why the flesh bothers us even after we've been saved, how God is using our circumstances to sanctify us to Him. It told me the one thing I've been missing in the Christian life; how the bible tells us who God and Jesus ARE. The book doesn't point to itself, but lies itself prostrate before Jesus and proclaims in huge, blood-bough words, "HE is the way, truth, and life. No one comes to the father except through Him." If I owned any two books, it would be the Bible and Changed into His Image. It's perfect for disciple-makers and christians, new and old. I TOTALLY recommend it, and you're missing out if you don't try to find it. I think BK publishers put it out…it reknewed my faith in God a thousand-fold. Not gonna lie. I don't think there's anything to say in response to this, so… God bless! |

2 | Similarities of Isaac and Jesus | Gen 17:19 | 2Tim215 | 180487 | ||
I was thinking…Isaac and Jesus are very similar. 1. they were the fulfillment of a promise (Isaac–Genesis 17:19, jesus Isa. 7:14"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.) 2. They were born impossibly (Sarah was barren, and Mary was a virgin!) |

3 | Stephen performed miracles too? | Acts 6:8 | 2Tim215 | 180486 | ||
Thank you for your rebuke; it is very welcome. I will step from the boundries of "the box" and ask a simple question, "Why not?" If God wants us to do miracles, we will! If he wants us to move mountains, we shall. We are co-heirs with Christ. The Holy Spirit is given as our down-payment, before we see Christ clearly. "For now we see though a glass, darkly, but then we shall see in full." You may look up the verses (I have to leave in a few minutes), but the apostles did their miracles through the Holy Spirit. Again, I say that if it's God's purpose for us to do it, why can't we? Some things are accepted on faith, because if there was sight it wouldn't be faith anymore! And besides. Please show me how I'm taking verses out of context. And you might be right about that proof texting stuff…I'm so used to ninth-grade Geometry and the Proofs everyone hated so much. but anyway. Thanks very much. god bless |

4 | is suicide a sin? | NT general Archive 1 | 2Tim215 | 180485 | ||
Prov 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction. Prov 8:11 "For wisdom is better than jewels; And all desirable things cannot compare with her. Prov 24:13 My son, eat honey, for it is good, Yes, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste; know that wisdom is thus for your soul; If you find it, then there will be a future, And your hope will not be cut off. |

5 | Stephen performed miracles too? | Acts 6:8 | 2Tim215 | 180476 | ||
Matt. 17:20 is the mustard seed… Mark 13:11 "When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit." Luke 4:1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 5:32 "And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him." god bless |

9 | is suicide a sin? | NT general Archive 1 | 2Tim215 | 180458 | ||
Why do you ask? The most our school has ever won is Confrence (and that was this last season!) : ) The thing about running the race is you cannot stop–it is to keep going even though you want to stop. I use Cross Country as my "life metaphor" (if you'll let me be a bit vague) because in Cross Country, it takes a lot of strength, and courage even, to make it to the finish line. Much less win the race! As a believer, I must stick with the course God has laid out for me. I may lose sight of the course but that doesn't matter because all strength comes from God. And besides; It's a well-known prinicple that looking down at your feet just wears you out. That's probably why Paul said to keep our eyes on Jesus. We must "run" so we are not disqualified–going off the track, walking, qutting being against the rules. Just a few weeks ago I wanted to stop running this race, but I knew that if I doggedly kept going, I'd see the way again (which is exactly what had happened to me when our team went to State). Now, I know that God's grace is free and we didn't and can't do anything to repay it or earn it, but we are to be living sacrifices to God–everything we have is His. Running in such a way as to not be DQ'd (disqualified) is just a small part of that sacrifice. |

11 | The risk of emptying oneself? | NT general Archive 1 | 2Tim215 | 180447 | ||
Hi y'all. Azure (pretty name, makes me think of a sky-blue color, since we're on the subject of different names!), I think you hit the nail head dead on–Jesus was talking about a so-called believer. I think that if a man says, "I'm going to fix myself," banishes his inner demons, puts his "house" in order, but doesn't fill his "house" with the Holy Spirit, the demon's going to come back with seven more, much more horrible friends! I'm thinking of an alcoholic. They say, "I'm going to quit," and stop but don't fill their thirst with God's love, the addiction is just going to come back sevenfold and overtake the drinker. But hey, what do I know. God bless. |

12 | why do Christians meet on Sunday? | NT general Archive 1 | 2Tim215 | 180446 | ||
I hope this isn't gossiping, but I heard it was because the early church wanted to start their week with worshipping God. (You know, Sunday is the first day of the week instead of Monday? I find it hard to follow because Monday is the first day of the school week. But anyway.) | ||||||
13 | is suicide a sin? | NT general Archive 1 | 2Tim215 | 180445 | ||
Okay, what I've said has been said already. Reading the previous dialogue, I'm going to admit that suicide has crossed my mind in the past, but in my heart I've always held the knowledge that it is the wrong thing to do. Not only is it disobedience of God, the people I would have left behind never would have gotten over their loss. Listen to Jeff in #179225. Oh yeah. Just by the way, I run cross country. Not very well, but I'm getting better. The point is, in the middle of 3.1 miles, you ache so bad you just want it to end. To a newbie like me, any route OUT of this misery is welcome. But whenever I reach the finish line, all I can remember is the glory. –The greater the effort, the greater the reward.– God bless ya. |

14 | how can you beforgivin? | NT general Archive 1 | 2Tim215 | 180442 | ||
Though his gift is free, we cannot repay anything God has given us, we become living sacrifices in the Lord (1 peter 2:5?). In a sense, everything we have, down to our last drop of blood, must be given to our Lord. It's free, but we cannot step back and say, "oh, it's free, so I don't have to do anything. I can just laze off and do what I want." I just had to say something. : ) |

Well…hmm…you're right about the vice versa–I have seen both. I am definetly going to leave this for a much smarter and wiser person. But I can say our Lord's charge to men to be the head of their wives while sacrificing themselves for her as christ sacrificed it for the church has been forgotten. But where I see this sacrificial love, it sets that man apart from every other I see. Unfortunately, it is terribly rare. I just wanted to say that, to whomever may read this. |

Sorry to but in, but this is kinda confusing for a blonde like me : ) Okay. Let me get this straight. Jesus is an ordinary man (except that he was born of a virgin, etc) with the Holy Spirit as his soul? fully God, but fully man? He is the Lord, and he has been given authority over everything. He died as a final sacrifical Lamb, but showed his authority over death by rising on the third day. Am I correct on all points? thanks. 2 Tim 2:15–Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. NASB |

You know, you're absolutely right. And it is awesome God hasn't told us everything. Thank you for correcting me once again. The only little detail is…our baptist church doesn't say the Nicene Creed…and I've only heard it once before. Do you know where (a web site) I could find it or something? I'd appreciate that. thanks once again. |
