I really needed to hear this.Thank you Daboniel. I needed to hear that God is present with me whether I have those feelings or not because sometimes when I'm down or have preocupations I don't feel those feelings while at church and I have really wondered if something is wrong with me or if I have distanced myself from God and I get even more down. You bringing this point out helps me more than you know.Also, thank you for the additional scriptures. Leonore | ||||||

Hank, I not only welcome other responses, I sincerely appreciate them. You have given me a wealth of information! It is going to take me some time to go through all of the scriptures but, I know it is time well spent. Thank you so much for taking the time to send this to me. I was really interested in finding out what the activities of the holy spirit are. I didn't realize how much he does and how important it is to learn about him also. | ||||||
8 | filled with holy spirit? | Rom 8:13 | leonore | 121196 | ||
I thank God for helping me to find this site. I appreciate you and all the people who take the time to answer my questions and help me to grow in understanding. It is going to take me quite a while to read the scriptures that you, Hank, and Daboniel have given me. Thank you very much for explaining the difference of when we make a mistake and sin and when we willfully sin and what happens in each instance. Love, Leonore | ||||||
9 | Church requirements for helping others? | Gal 6:10 | leonore | 121189 | ||
Thank you for this searcher56. My dad was a deacon but he is no longer with me. It's nice to learn this kind of information! | ||||||
10 | Church requirements for helping others? | Gal 6:10 | leonore | 121153 | ||
Thank you Searcher56 for your answer. When I read this question it bothered me. It seems very mean to be calling children fat and to say that they eat like hogs. We don't know there situation. A lot of poorer people are overweight because they don't have good nutrition and fill up on inexpensive things like potatoes and rice instead of eating healthfully. Or maybe they just recently have begun to have financial problems. I think the question could have been asked without that information. In 1 Timothy 5:3-16 Paul tells what the elders should do concerning widows. Right after that in verse 17 and 19 he says "the elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor,especially those whose work is preaching and teaching.Do not entertain an accusation against an elder unless it is brought by two or three witnesses." I have only been a Christian for a short while but, this seems to pertain to this situation. Please correct me if I am wrong but, I think that we shouldn't judge the elders(or the pastor) because we don't know the whole situation. Leonore | ||||||
11 | can you explain a little more? thanks | Rom 8:13 | leonore | 121148 | ||
Hi Angel! Thank you so so much! Between this and the other information and scriptures you gave me I think it's going to take me a couple of days to read it and think about it and understand it completely though, I am getting a much clearer understanding already. There is only one part that I don't understand, it is the paragraph about people who are religious in their own minds. I'm not sure if you mean that they are not really saved. I am going to take some time and read both of your posts, look up the scriptures and try to gain understanding on that also. Thanks for making me think! I want to grow in knowledge and understanding of the Lord. | ||||||
12 | can you explain a little more? thanks | Rom 8:13 | leonore | 121114 | ||
Dear Zsuzsi, Thank you for giving me so much more to think about and also for the advice about prayer. When I first became a Christian in October I would pray to understand the things I was reading and lately I have forgotten to do so. Thanks for the reminder and the additional scriptures. For me it is so exciting, like putting pieces of a puzzle together. But, this is the most important knowledge that we could ever attain. Thanks again. Leonore | ||||||
13 | Does sin use the law or benefit from it? | Rom 7:5 | leonore | 121060 | ||
Thank you so much for clearing this up for me. You also helped me with some other questions I had or had been thinking about. I had a hard time understanding v.13 but the translation you have made it much easier. Also what you said about no one being able to look at the demands of the law and then their own lives can say that we don't deserve condemnation. I was just thinking last night about what I would do if I had to stand before God without Christ's atonement. There would be nothing I could say to explain away my sins. I would be guilty and deserving of condemnation. Thanks so much for talking so clearly and giving scriptures on things I am barely beginning to understand! | ||||||

Thank you EdB. I am going to have to take a few days to go over all this information! I feel overwhelmed but, in a good way. There is so much to learn! Now that I found out how much there is I can't stop! I read at night with a flashlight so as not to keep my husband awake! I appreciate this site so much, my dad had patiently urged me to go to church my whole adult life, he prayed for me constantly and gave me advice. But, I'm so sorry to say that I didn't come to Christ until a year after he passed away.I miss him so much and I wish that I could have him here to ask all my questions. But, I think God helped me to find this site because here I have found people with the same spirit as my father. We all remember him sitting at the kitchen table with his bible open and reference books so piled up that my mother had to get another table to eat at! Sorry for the personal info but, when you said that Macarthur was calvinistic it reminded me of my dad because he had said something about that before, though, I don't know what calvinistic means.:) | ||||||
18 | In what way is Christ God's mystery? | Col 2:2 | leonore | 114939 | ||
I haven't really thought about the role of the church yet but, after reflecting on what you wrote it does seem right and beautiful that the church should be Christ's instrument here on earth.It is the means by which we do learn about him and I also see how it is right that the church would serve to unite people because it is when we realize how much God loves us that we begin to look at others and feel a strong love for them. This was very hard for me to understand,I am having to learn so many new words and concepts, I hope I understood what you are trying to explain which I think is this,(please let me know if I'm wrong)that the mystery of Christ is salvation and we learn about it through the church. | ||||||

20 | In what way is Christ God's mystery? | Col 2:2 | leonore | 114852 | ||
You've given me a lot of reading to do. thank you very much! I do think that this will help me. It already helped to read where you told me that it doesn't necessarily mean it's a secret that is being withheld but of one to be published. I think I also understand that this means that although we understand some of the mystery at this time, there is even more to be revealed. Is that right? | ||||||
