1 | Why do I want to speak in tongues? | 1 Cor 13:1 | Cody Mac | 212357 | ||
Errr. What, I dont understand why you posted this. If you do not speak in tongues it doesnt mean you are not saved but one must be saved to do it. There are thousands of christians out there that are not able to be directly involved with ministering to the world where a gift of speaking in tongues would be needed and it does not mean they are not saved. Do I believe in his promises, yes with my whole heart. Do I have that gift, honestly I dont know. I have never been in a situation where it would be needed, I have never addressed such a diverse crowd it would be needed. I am going to Africa in six months so I will see I guess. | ||||||
2 | married | Heb 13:4 | Cody Mac | 206646 | ||
I was trying to point out that everyone since Adam and Eve that have been married have lived together. It is perfectly fine for a man to marry a woman and the two live together. I have never read otherwise, I have never heard preached otherwise and I have never teached otherwise. | ||||||
3 | married | Heb 13:4 | Cody Mac | 206642 | ||
Genesis 2:24 says that finding a wife is the reason a man shall leave his home. To live with his wife...its really in black and white. As for Matthew 10:6...it was suppose to be Matthew 19:6 if you go back a verse to Matthew 19:5 even Jesus says what is spoken in Genesis. If married people arent suppose to live together then everyone since Adam and Eve has broken what God has said and Heaven must be empty. | ||||||
4 | Paul's circumstances writing Rom 8:31-39 | Rom 16:23 | Cody Mac | 206632 | ||
Paul was in Corinth and it was his third missionary journey. He was not alone in Corinth. Corinth was under Roman rule at the time and the church in Rome was mostly gentiles. At this time is wasnt completely organized yet, mostly small groups met before buildings or locations were created so that people new christians met there. | ||||||
5 | Suffering For The Sake Of Christ? | 1 Pet 4:12 | Cody Mac | 206409 | ||
To us ourselves we find peace in working for Christ, there is no greater joy. I was trying to say that because we work for Christ people will persecute us, suffering physically maybe might sound better? The times people have tried to bring me down for doing his work, it didnt make me angry but it broke my heart. I prayed for them but it saddened me to know they were not living in Christ. Maybe suffering isnt a good word to use when describing working for Christ? That might be where the confusion is because now that I think about it more, no matter what happens to us for doing what he told us to do and living out he wants us to being filled with the Holy Spirit we have an inner peace to do his work and a courage that no one who didnt walk the same road can understand. This as me wondering now. I imagine we would feel similar to Christ, we know that while he was dying on the Cross he felt nothing but love for us. It must have been like a burning fire, like a father for his children but he did suffer. Ok, so. How about this, granted I live in America so I (if this sounds accurate) have not suffered for Christ, why? Because if we are to understand suffering as Christ suffered for us perhaps it would be a physical torment, combined with a broken heart for the ones inflicting the suffering like what he felt for those that sentenced him to death. Living in America I am not hunted for believing in God like maybe if I lived in a country that was under Muslim rule and it was against the law to believe in Christ??? |

6 | Why is the Christian Church so divided? | Bible general Archive 4 | Cody Mac | 206408 | ||
Of course of course, it probably wasnt the best analogy to use. First thing that came to mind. | ||||||
7 | Christians Apostate Same As Anit-Christ? | 1 Tim 4:1 | Cody Mac | 206406 | ||
Um I believe people can come back after that, why? I was raised in a baptist church, through high school I turned agnostic and now I am working on a bachelors in Christian teachings. I think a simple answer to what can be forgiven is to look at what cannot. Matthew 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall no be forgiven him neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Everyone probably at some point has something really bad and dramatic happen to them and blame God and get angry at God and here we are told we can be forgiven but to do so against the Holy Ghot we cant, why? Because the Holy Ghost represents Gods grace and our salvation. To blaspheme or speak against it is to do so against our salvation. The Holy Ghost is what brings us the offering of salvation. |
