1 | Do altars belong in christian churches? | Ex 17:15 | mbooker | 97873 | ||
Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp. Ps 149 1-3 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. Ps 150 Concerning dancing before the Lord, is it forbidden during what we typically today call 'worship' service? Where exactly in scripture can we find the prescribed elements of worship? Is praise one of those elements? |

2 | The Power of Prayer and a Prodigal Child | 1 John 5:15 | mbooker | 96571 | ||
I am so glad I decided to venture here today!! Brother Tim, you have me in tears. What wonderful news! I rejoice with you! I was listening to Fred Hammond this morning and in his song he quoted Zechariah 4:6 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit'. When I hear this song, I think of my father, who is also on drugs, and I think 'Not by might or power, but by His Spirit will my father be delivered.' the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. Prov 11:21 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16 Romans 5:1-5 was given to me when I shared with a brother that I was afraid to hope to much the first time my father went to a Christian rehad center. v5 was especially edifying: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. My prayer for you is that you continue hope in His mercy (Ps 33:18) Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD. Psalm 33:18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; Psalm 33:22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. Psalm 38:15 For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. Psalm 39:7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. Psalm 42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. Psalm 42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. Psalm 43:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. Psalm 71:5 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth. Psalm 71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. Psalm 119:49 Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. Psalm 119:81 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. Psalm 119:114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. Psalm 119:147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word. Psalm 130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. Psalm 146:5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Psalm 147:11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. |

3 | A Good Baptist | Luke 10:29 | mbooker | 95406 | ||
Added to say... I forgot to apologize... :) If I left the impression that I though you were being self-righteous or rigid in denominationalism, I apoligize. That was not what I intended. Grace to you Meredith |

5 | A Good Baptist | Luke 10:29 | mbooker | 95397 | ||
Thanks Hank for your response. Please forgive me for not being able to discern your meaning of a 'good Baptist'. Besides being ‘simple in speech and not as seasoned as most on this board’ as my sister Vehoka is, I have learned over the past few years to slow my roll when someone makes a statement and my mind processes it and comes to its own conclusions as to what the speaker (or in this case writer) means by his statement. For me, this is especially important when I do not have a more intimate or face-to-face connection with the speaker/writer. If the statement is of interest to me, I will dialogue/ask questions to discern whether or not my conclusion is correct. The ‘good Baptist’ statement interested me, as I mentioned in my original post, because I attend a Baptist church and the statement gave me a chuckle. I had no consternation over what you meant by ‘good Baptist’, only humorous curiosity because, as I said previously, I attend a Baptist church and your statement reminded me of what my boss said once. While I did not think you were being self-righteously or rigidly denominational, your statement also reminded of a question of mine that is still in need of an answer: Why do we have denominations and are they scriptural? I put the denominations question out there in hopes that someone would/could give me an answer or point me in the right direction. Thanks again for taking your time to add your explanatory footnote. One more question, is the ‘Baptist Faith and Message’ written somewhere that I can read it? Thanks again Grace and peace to you Meredith |

6 | GOD TURNED HIS BACK ON JESUS WHEN JESUS | Bible general Archive 2 | mbooker | 94973 | ||
Good morning Ray I just happened across your post and 'we will not find in the Scriptures that He "became sin"' caught my eye. Some one may have already posted this and I apologize if they have, but, without having read through this entire post, graceful may have been referring to 2 Cor 5:21 if she said Jesus "became sin". While the KJV doesn't say he "became sin" it does phrase it like this: For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. So, if someone said Jesus "became sin" or "was turned into sin" or "was made sin", I would automatically think of 2 Cor 5:21 Your Sister in Christ Meredith |

8 | What is the "Force of Faith"? | Bible general Archive 1 | mbooker | 83096 | ||
Hi Brother Tim... long time to see... :) Since this thread is restricted, I will venture to ask this: Those that were 'tortured, flogged, stoned, and sawn in two', could they be the 'others (who) were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection' (v35)? The key being THEY did not accept the deliverance that Abba Father provided. OK, that's my question, and I'm outta here!!! Grace and peace to you, Beloved of God |

9 | Is it Sin or Me? | Rom 5:12 | mbooker | 75724 | ||
Good Morning Brother Tim! :) Just this morning, I was thinking about Romans 7, particularly vv 15-23, and how to reconcile it with what Paul said in Romans 6, particularly vv 11-14. When you said you believed Romans 7 'describes Paul's condition as a Jew, who wants to obey the Law of God, prior to his becoming a Christian', why do you believe that? Meredith |

10 | Does this include holding fast to His | Heb 4:14 | mbooker | 75410 | ||

11 | Governmental Authority? | Rom 13:1 | mbooker | 74482 | ||
Hi Ed I agree about Paul and maybe I came across wrong. I saw him using the law, ie asserting his rights, to his advantage, thus resisting the injustice that was done. I also agree that Montag makes an interesting argument... I am curious to know the way(s), the founding fathers, the anti slavery groups and the pro civil rights groups SHOULD have gone about gaining those things which they were seeking. If they DID NOT have legal recourses as Paul did, was there another biblical way for them? As I typed that last question, I Tim 2:1-2 comes to mind: I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. oh!! that's a HARD pill to swallow... praying for your oppressor... but it's in there so maybe that was the answer... Yours in Christ Meredith |

12 | Governmental Authority? | Rom 13:1 | mbooker | 74481 | ||
Good morning Searcher When you say 'we' voilated scripture, do you mean the founding fathers, the slaves, or the civil rights advocates? Or all of them? Meredith |

13 | Governmental Authority? | Rom 13:1 | mbooker | 74416 | ||
Hi Montag Your question is VERY interesting... and here is the first passage of scripture that came to mind: The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him. And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. Acts 22:24-29 Could we say Paul was resisting authority in this passage? My answer would be he was resisting injustice (but I could be wrong! :) ). Your question has prompted in me this question: Was it wrong for my foreparents (those slaves that fought, in whatever way, against slavery) to resist the bondage and degregation heaped upon them, ie resist the authority that said they could not be free, could be sold, beaten, separated from their families, were less than human? Was it wrong for those of the civil rights era, to 'fight' for equal rights? Were they sinning when they resisted the authority that told them they could not vote, had to sit in the back of the bus, could only drink out of the 'colored' water fountains, had to attend segregated schools with inferior materials, were not entitled to equal rights/protections under the law? I believe it is good to also consider vv3-5 in conjunction with vv1-2: For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. NASB Did the founding fathers, my foreparents and those of the civil rights era sin against God? I'm not sure either... but hopefully others with be able to shed some more light on the question. Yours in Christ Meredith |

14 | Hate your enemy? | Matt 5:1 | mbooker | 74095 | ||

15 | What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? | Matt 7:23 | mbooker | 74094 | ||
Hi Brother John As I had been reading thru this thread, Matt 22:37-40 came to mind: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Gal 5:14 and Matt 22:37-40 seem to compliment each other quite nicely :) Grace and peace to you Brother Meredith |

'Paul was usually thrown out of the synagogue when he preached Christ! :-)' Interesting point brother Tim!! :) ps I pray that your daughter is doing better. I have a similar situation only reversed: the child (me) is praying for the addicted parent. But all praise to our Father, for He has done great things and it's marvelous in our eyes!! Your sister in Christ Meredith |

17 | can anyone explain ? Mat 25.24 | Matt 25:24 | mbooker | 73367 | ||
Good Morning gracefull... Your post was an uplift for me today :) Just this morning before I got out of bed, I told Abba Father that I wanted to obey Him, not because I want to avoid all the bad stuff that comes with disobedience (ie fear), but I want to obey him because I love him. Then I was reminded of a scripture that I came across in a bible study: And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. Deut 30:6 Grace and peace be multiplied to you :) Meredith |

18 | Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? | Rom 10:9 | mbooker | 73244 | ||
CDBJ 'All of the Old Testament believers had to have faith in God’s perfect sacrifice the same way that we do today; they looked forward to it and we look back.' I appreciate your post. I was talking to a co-worker Wednesday and she said that she hopes to get to heaven ... IF she 'doesn't mess up too bad' (her exact words). I tried to convey to her that if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead, we shall be saved. She believes you have to 'have Jesus' but... it's 'faith and works' (again, her exacts words). Then she preceded to ask how was it determined in the OT who was 'saved'. I said I believed that those who were looking for the promised Messiah was the determining factor (thinking of Heb 11:13). Too bad I didn't say it as you did :) Meredith |

19 | No healing? why? | 2 Cor 1:4 | mbooker | 73066 | ||
inmyheart Jehovah-Rapha is one of my favorite names of Abba Father. I believe with all my heart that He is 'the LORD who heals' back in Exodus and I believe that He is still Jehovah-Raphe today! Bless His name!! As I was reading your post, I thought of John 10:10 and low and behold you end your post with it. Yes it is Satan, our enemy and adversary, that steals, kills and destroys. If it steals, kills or destroys, I give it to satan. But thanks be to our Father in heaven who sent Jesus that we may have life and have life more abundantly! Praise the great I AM!!! May you always know that you have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places Your Sister in Christ Meredith |
