1 | why should we pray and speak in tongues | Bible general Archive 3 | PDAL | 183354 | ||
We should pray because we do not always know in which direction to go.The bible says acknowledge the LORD and he will direct your path.As far as speaking in tongues,Paul says that the unsaved are spiritually dead and live out of their minds which are darkened by vanity.You know,its possible for a believer to live this way-out of the folly of his or her unrenewed mind- after their spirit has recieved the life of GOD.They have not yet located their spirit which is the faculty GOD uses to communicate with you and direct you,so they just keep trying to reason things out like the worrld does and put all kinds of ideas together to try to make things work.Instead of living out of our head,we are to live out of our spirit.How do you begin to do that?By sowing the Word into your spirit.Gal.6:8.As you pray in tongues and meditate on the Word regularly,you become more spirit conscious.THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE TEACHER OF THE CHURCH.Now in the new birth,your spirit has come alive.You mind or soul was not directly changed.It needs to be renewed.We have become accustomed to walking after our feelings and reasoning,your soul and body in dominance.Speaking in tongues bypasses.This is what I ment in my previous answer.Paul says in Eph.4:17-19 not to walk any more as other gentiles do,in the vanity of their mind,being cutoff from the life of GOD and obeying their bodily impules. | ||||||

What I mean by bypasses our soul is that we didn't make it up.We didn't go to school and get taught on how to speak in tongues.My suggestion is that you read and meditate on Acts chap.2.The starting point for me was when I said I WANT TO KNOW JESUS!After that my life really changed.The LORD started adding people in my life that could help me.People who fellowshiped with the LORD.People who view and understand scripture from a redemptive view point,which for me is the best way to interpet scripture. | ||||||

Hello Hank! Hope you enjoyed your dinner.Maybe bypass wasn't the best of terms,forgive me.Man is a 3 fold being.1Thess.5:23....He is spirit-he has a soul(which is your mind,will,emotions)your intellect and and lives in a body.I've learned this from studing Paul's writings - not just one scripture verse,but an overall view of the way Paul thinks and teaches.Speaking in tongues comes from your spirit and up out of your mouth.Acts 2:4 (Amplified) they were all FILLED.Searcher56 said they never spoke it before--ofcource they didn't--they didn't learn it from man--it was from GOD.Redemptive view point is GOD'S plan of restoration-the ministry of reconciliation-the way GOD THE FATHER sees things,not our view but his view.It's THE FATHER through and as our Lord Jesus bring man back to Him.Who by one man ADAM became seperate because of the fall.So by one man JESUS CHRIST we've been redemed or reconciled.AMEN! | ||||||
4 | world vs age | Gen 1:5 | PDAL | 216092 | ||
Dear john, Can you plaese provide scripture that clarifies Lucifer and the delvil are the same?You wrote that's what got Lucifer(the delvil)kicked out of heaven. |
||||||
5 | world vs age | Gen 1:5 | PDAL | 216123 | ||
Hi stjohn, Thanks for remembering.I've read Isaiah 14:12-18,but i guess what confuses me somewhat is that v.16, says(is this the MAN)referring to Lucifer.So the way I read it is that it was a man that fell and weakened the nations,which was adam.My understanding is that God created the devil as the devil and man as man.The fall that took place is because of what one man did Adam,not what a devil did.Also what I found interesting was that Lucifer means lightbearer,which to me means that there is light within.So you see I'm a little puzzled,as to who Lucifer speaks of. Blessings PDAL |
||||||
6 | world vs age | Gen 1:5 | PDAL | 216201 | ||
st.john I did not know Isaiah was a poet,a prophet yes.I still read it as Lucifer being a man,just food for thought,not wanting to debate anything.As far as understanding scripture,God's word is progressive revelation,meaning your understanding might change over the years.The only thing that is absolute is God himself.He sheds more and more light to those who seek him.Prov.25:2It is the glory of God to conceal a thing,but the honor of kings is to search out a matter,so I disagree about the cookie thing.Please don't take this the wrong way,but the library is full of fiction books.Example,The Left Behind Series,They made a movie out of that. Blessings,PDAL |

7 | world vs age | Gen 1:5 | PDAL | 216203 | ||
Hello Ptr, I never said Lucifer had the appearence of man ,I quoted Isaiah 14:16,he was a man.As far as satan which means the accuser,he has no power.He was defeated at the cross,the only power he has is in deception or when the church lifts him up.God is in charge and always has been.The only thing satan can do is what God allows him to do.God created all things,that includes satan or the devil.You wrote that we can become more than conquerors,the greater truth is that we have become,not going to.You will only understand that statement if you understand the FINISHED WORK that God did in and through our Lord Jesus,but most of the church do not know who they are IN CHRIST. |

8 | Significance to Tree of Life? | Gen 2:9 | PDAL | 183641 | ||
Read Gen.2:17 and 3:3.Adam died the instant he ate from that tree.He died spiritually not physically--thus the condition or state of man before recieving Christ.Read Romans 5:12-19.Sin means to miss the mark(which is Christ)and Adam missed it by not eating from the tree of life (which also speaks of CHRIST).See brother we're not a sinner based on what we do,it's based on our natural birth.We were all born spiritually dead,but we,all have been made alive by the new birth IN CHRIST.Read John 5:21-26.and 1John5:11-13.The purpose of Jesus was not just to die,but to give eternal life.In scripture eternal life or everlasting life sometimes refers to quality of life as to duration of life | ||||||
9 | Why God did not accept Cain's offering | Gen 47:1 | PDAL | 183882 | ||
O.T. is a natural picture of a spiritual truth.Cain's offering speaks of the works of man.Able's offering speaks of the sacrifice,returning something GOD gave him.Basically Cain was saying "look at what I can do".That's pride!Abel's offering wasn't prideful.GOD never accepts the works of man.It's all about what GOD THE FATHER DID,not about what we do.Our part is to just simply believe and recieve. | ||||||
10 | As A Man Thinkeths | Mark 7:20 | PDAL | 199360 | ||
Proverbs 23:7 The heart can also mean the very core of something or the most inward part,as in our sub-concious.What we believe in our sub-conscience is what manifests on the outside.For instance if I believe I'm rich then I'm going to act rich.If I believe I'm poor then I'll act that way.Whatever we believe about ourselves we will act out.This is why some people after accepting christ still have issues,like drug addiction,alchol problems and so forth.They need their concious cleasened.The word conscience means to know within oneself.Even though the truth is that they are new creations in christ,sometimes they believe that they are their actions...You are not your actions you are who the bible says you are.Judge no man by the flesh. | ||||||
11 | As A Man Thinkeths | Mark 7:20 | PDAL | 199412 | ||
stjohn All that I'm saying is that as co-creators with God,we create the enviroment that we live in by the way we think.God said let us make man in our image--that's a thought,then came action,God breathed--result-- man was created.As far as acting rich or poor,there's to many to list ,but one way may be in giving.Is a person a giver or do they hold back. No funds--you can make it happen this year by creating a different enviroment.You can do it with a positive attitude for every area of you life,elimaninate excuses especially religious or self hating ones.Understand that we have been created by our creator to be decisive and rule,if we refuse to decide our life other people or circumstances will then decide it for us.God has decided to let us decide. Job22:28 says you decide a matter and it will be confirmed and light will shine on your ways. There are two primary ways to view God. His person revealed through grace and truth through Jesus Christ.The other way is through his laws or principles of creation. Mt.5:45 That you may be children of your father which is in heaven,for he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good,and sends rain on the just and the unjust. Luke 16:8 And the Lord commened the unjust steward,because he had done wisely,fore the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. We can know the person of redemption yet ignore the natural laws of creation and wonder why God allows us to suffer,but it is really because we violate the natural laws that God put in place at creation,they work for everybody always.On the other hand we may know the laws of creation,bot still be unfullfilled in our heart because we do not know the person of redemption.May we come to know him both as creator and redeemer AMEN!

12 | As A Man Thinkeths | Mark 7:20 | PDAL | 199478 | ||
st.john I was just tring to help you.didn't mean to upset you.You seem to get upset a lot on this forum.Sorry there's been a misunderstanding,my focus is not on money,but you do need money to operate in the natural relm don't you. I'm not word of faith,didn't even know what is was until you guys bashed K.C. and J.M.your brother and sister in the Lord. Sound doctrine:Matt 16:15-18 Says the church is built on revelation. Eph.2:20 Jesus Christ himself the chief cornerstone. John 5:39 says that scripture testifies of me(J.C.) Heb.10:7 says that the volume of the book is written of me (J.C). To know the Word (which is a person)according to John 1:1is to know Jesus Christ intimately. See John its all about knowing Jesus.It's all about the PERSON AND WORK OF J.C.. 1Cor.2:2 For I have determined not to know anything among you except J.C. AND HIM CRUCIFIED. Phil.3:8 Paul counts all things a loss except for the excellence of the KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST. Other countries-Phil.4:11 Not that I speak in regard to need,for I have learned to be content in whatever state I'm in.Persucution I can get that right here.I've been to other countries and have seen the poverty.And like Paul preached Christ to them.Preaching the Cross is what sets people free peroid.Not Jesus plus the law,not Jesus plus your good works. Be careful what you assume I'm not in the habit of watching Christian television. Ephs.4:15 But speaking the truth in LOVE,MAY GROW UPin all things into HIM who is head CHRIST. PDAL |

13 | take up "his" cross | Luke 9:23 | PDAL | 200116 | ||
Doc Are you saying that there is only one way to properly interpret scripture?If that is the case how do you know you have the proper interpretation? |
||||||
14 | take up "his" cross | Luke 9:23 | PDAL | 200124 | ||
Thanks Doc... Our pastors teach us that there is really only one message in the bible and that is God's plan of redemption(which can be seen throughout the entire bible).God's one man plan to reconcile us back to Him through Jesus Christ and that we must see everything through the cross.A Finished Work.They teach us to see God's view and not man's view. |

15 | DID JESUS EVER DIE? HE WAS GOD | Rom 8:11 | PDAL | 183480 | ||
YES.Not only was Jesus GOD,he was also man.Philippians 2:6-8.who being in the form of GOD,did not consider it robbery to be equal with GOD,but made himself of no reputation,taking the form of a bondservent,and coming in the likeness of men.And being found in appearence as man,He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death,even the death of the cross.JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED, HE DIED,HE WAS BURIED,HE WAS QUICKENED(made alive)RAISED AND SEATED. P.S.AND SO WERE WE WITH HIM. GOD BLESS YOU! | ||||||
16 | gift of tongues- t/lation of 1Cor14:2 | 1 Cor 14:2 | PDAL | 183249 | ||
The gift of tongues is what it is,a gift from GOD.GOD gives gifts out of love,like he does everything else.GOD didnt give you a gift to hide away.GODS gifts are ment to be used.I speak in tongues all the time;at church,home,work.I dont do it to impress or scare others.Speaking in tongues bypasses our carnal thinking.This is how I learned to disern the voice of the LORD from other voices in my soul( which is your mind,will,emotions).Its a direct connection to GOD.Have fun with it.Learn his voice.Learn how to hear and move by the spirit. | ||||||
17 | what does ephesians 4:9 mean-"descended" | Eph 4:9 | PDAL | 183989 | ||
I would like to jump in,if I may and say that Jesus's decention was not just the descention of one man.John 12:32(amp)And I,if and when I am lifted up from the earth[on the cross],will draw and attract all men[Gentiles and Jews]to Myself.It was not the death of only one man on the cross.This is why Paul said in Gal. 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ;it is no longer I that live,but Christ lives in me. | ||||||
18 | what does ephesians 4:9 mean-"descended" | Eph 4:9 | PDAL | 184031 | ||
Hello CDBJ ;This may help.The fall of Adam into bondage and corruption was more than the decent of a single man from life and freedom.The very name "Adam"-"Man"-implies the embodiment of all mankind.The fall of Adam as our head and representative was the fall of us all.So.to the resurrection of Christ into life and glorious liberty was not just the raising of a single man.No,as Second"Adam,"He to embodied us all as our Head and Representative.The resurrection of Christ was our resurrection.He took us in Him to the Cross by taking our place and becoming what we were John 12:32 If I be lifted up on the cross,I shall draw all peoples unto Myself.2Cor.5:21-For our sake He made Christ[virtually]to be sin who knew no sin,so that in and through Him we might become[endued with,viewed as being in,and examples of]the righteousness of GOD[what we ought to be,approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him,by his goodness].I hope this helps some....PDAL | ||||||
19 | what does ephesians 4:9 mean-"descended" | Eph 4:9 | PDAL | 184079 | ||
Greetings CDBJ!....I would be happy to clear up some things.Alot gets lost in our meanings over our P.C.,To me last and second mean the same.Sorry!--It is better said last Adam.1Cor.15:47 GOD created only two corperate men in the earth.The first man was of the earth,made of dust;the second man is the Lord from heaven.NKJV.1Cor.15:45-54 is some very good reading.Once we ask Jesus into our heart by choice of course(not automatic)there is a change that takes place in our spirit.In Adam our condition was spiritual death.By asking Jesus into our heart that condition changes from death to eternal life(denotes quality as to duration).It's His life in us.1John5:11,12 And this is the testimony:that GOD has given us eternal life,and this life is in His Son.12 He who has the Son has life;he who does not have theSon of God does not have life.Because of this we have become NEW CREATIONS IN CHRIST!AMEN!I'm not a sinner saved by grace,I'm a NEW CREATION IN CHRIST!....I hope it's becoming clearer.As you seek HIM it will.....PDAL | ||||||
20 | no physical death? not sinners? | Eph 4:9 | PDAL | 184158 | ||
Hi stj...good to hear from you.Adam died in the day he ate,we know that this was spiritual because the Lord sent him out of the garden after he ate.He was still physically alive.His condition or nature was spiritual death.If you tell me that Jesus died for my sins that's good news,but if you tell me that Jesus died to destroy the old man or nature that produced those sins,that's really good news.Where did this take place? At the Cross!Jesus's redemtive work at the Cross removed our old man,old self,or our old nature,which was spiritual death.It was our sinful nature.Rom.6:1-7....Next question would be how did he do that? 2Cor.5:21.He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us,that we might become the rightousness of God in him.Jesus removed that condition by becoming the condition that we were as a result of Adam's disobedience.Rom.5:18,19 and died,destroying that nature.But he didn't stay dead,He was made alive...Rom.6:10,11.says we're dead to sin......You were a sinner,now you're saved through faith in Jesus Christ,therefore you have become a NEW CREATION IN CHRIST.That's why I don't believe in two natures.......PDAL. | ||||||
