1 | Does God ordain women bishops? | Not Specified | WalkingTalkingBible | 118219 | ||
Is it Scipture (the will of God) for a woman to be a bishop, pastor, or elder? 1 Timothy 3:1-7 state the qualifications for such positions. I understand that all believers are to preach the word, but I'm seeking for an understanding on the offices and a woman's role in them, and I'm only concerned with what God says. The reason for this concern is that these offices are ones that seem to be directed to the "head." Does "head" only pertain to a man in marriage? Can a woman, according to Scripture, be the "head" of a church? WalkingTalkingBible |

2 | Can anyone explain? | Not Specified | WalkingTalkingBible | 120474 | ||
Matthew 3:11 says, "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:" The baptism of the Holy Ghost and the indwelling of the Holy Ghost appear to be two different events that a true believer experiences. Can anyone explain? (Please, no theological references, only respond with what the Holy Ghost, Himself, has revealed - John 14:26) Thanks in advance, WalkingTalkingBible |

3 | Saved without faith? | Not Specified | WalkingTalkingBible | 120824 | ||
I was asked by one of our forum members, "Faith keeps us saved? Where does scripture tell us this?" I'm concerned that there are teachings going forth in our time that omit the responsibility of the believer. There are teachings that omit the importance of "knowing" God and focuses on "the knowing of" God. There are teachings that deny God in that of the power of the Holy Ghost - once saved, always saved, just believe :one time repentance, one time confession, one time to ask for forgiveness and it's all done - I have eternal life because God promised it and I believe! My question is how can you be saved without faith? Yes, Jesus gave His life for the sins of the world, He did His part. I understand that without the guidance of Holy Ghost this question is difficult. I'm not concerned with being popular in this forum, it would be a bit scary if everyone agrees with me. (I enjoy learning and sharing God's Word as led by the Holy Ghost - I never want to be a stumbling block to other souls). "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:" (Matthew 7:13) "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." (Proverbs 16:25) WalkingTalkingBible |

4 | Is it necessary to be a member? | Not Specified | WalkingTalkingBible | 121336 | ||
Is it necessary for a believer to join a church as opposed to just attending church service regularly? Some say that the church provides a "covering for the soul." The only verse I can think of right now is "forsaking not the assembling of ourselves. . ." WalkingTalkingBible |

5 | Only for the early Church? | Not Specified | WalkingTalkingBible | 122242 | ||
Has the ministry of the Holy Ghost changed? It is foolishness to some who profess Christ to cast out devils, speak in tongues, heal the sick, raise the dead, etc. The Holy Ghost empowers the true Church to be witnesses to Him (Jesus), to do what? Bring souls to Him. How? By doing the works that He did. Is it that the Holy Ghost has changed or those who oppose are PROFESSING Christ but not POSSESSING the Holy Spirit? I'm very concerned.

6 | What are we to do? | Not Specified | WalkingTalkingBible | 125020 | ||
What should a Christian do when faced with sicknesses and infirmities? Knowing that we are tested with trials and tribulations, but God doesn't cause sickness on us, neither does He allow the enemy to touch us like Job. WalkingTalkingBible |

7 | For Justme | Not Specified | WalkingTalkingBible | 125021 | ||
Reposting Justme's post which he aksed no be responded to so it would stay up. PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER THIS, I AM POSTING IT AS A PRAYER REQUEST. I would like it to stay for a awhile please.:-) I have many large blood clots in my right leg, that have gone to both lungs. This is a critical and dangerous condition. The prognosis is grim from a medical stand point. The doctors are amazed I am not in great pain and I can breath with good oxygen saturation. Everyone is stumped as to how I have made it thus far. The next 90 days either will take me home to be with the Lord or I will begin to improve. I request specifically that you to pray for me to be in the Father's direct will for my life, and for my family. Blessings to all the Forum for you have been a rich blessing in my life! I am at peace, and rest in Jesus Christ. I have known Jesus Christ as Lord from the age of 9. My favorite Scripture is Psalm 139. justme (Mike) |

9 | Do animals have souls? | Not Specified | WalkingTalkingBible | 127836 | ||
I'm hearing that animals have souls. This is a topic that I've never really given much thought. I would say right off that they do not, but since I haven't studied this topic, I could be wrong. Is there any Biblical proof that animals have souls? Thanking you in advance, WalkingTalkingBible |

10 | Tongues mean Holy Spirit? | Not Specified | WalkingTalkingBible | 181556 | ||
I'm having a tough time understanding speaking in tongues. I go to a church where they teach that speaking in tongues is the initial sign of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I don't find Scripture supporting that. They use Acts 2:4, Mark 16:17, and 1 Corinthians 14:22. I believe the evidence of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is seen in the fruit one bears (according to Galatians 5:22-23). I also believe that the believer receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit at the time of conversion and the filling of the Holy Spirit is continuous - as the believer grows spiritually. They also believe in tarrying for the Holy Spirit and I don't believe that, either. I don't believe that one has to tarry for what God has given him/her. Can someone help me understand this more clearly? WTB |

12 | Bible version can become an idol? | Bible general Archive 2 | WalkingTalkingBible | 117766 | ||
Definitely, a Bible version can become an idol especially if the particular version strays away from the truth of the Word of God and is used for personal motives. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 says, "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." There are many versions of the Bible and just as many stray far away from the truth. This surely is not God's motive, but man's doing. The Bible was written in two languages: Hebrew and Greek. In studying, along with the power of the Holy Ghost ("Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come." John 13:15), use a concordance that breaks down the Hebrew (Old Testament) and Greek (New Testament). However, to answer your question, there are souls out there that would rather believe what a man has written in the recent past than what the Spirit of God has spoken in eternity past. Anything, or anyone, you put before God is idolatrous. WalkingTalkingBible |

13 | Cup Passed? | Bible general Archive 2 | WalkingTalkingBible | 118131 | ||
Rowdy, I agree that the separation from the Father was an unexplainable, tormenting horror for Jesus. One of my favorite verses is Hebrews 12:2, "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Knowing that He would be joined again with the Father was His motivation to ENDURE. Jesus has encouraged me to keep my focus on being joined with Him and not to let these little life circumstances make me take my mind off of Him. Even though Jesus was not condemned to hell (He wasn't a sinner, He became sin for us), I know He knows what hell is like (being separated from the Father) and was motivated to die for the sins of us, because of His love for us. This is the very drive I have to teach, love, and longsuffer with those who are living in error, unsaved, and lost, so that their souls are not eternally separated in the end. This was a great response you gave! What a Mighty God we serve!! WalkingTalkingBible |

14 | If you rape a virgin then she must mary | Bible general Archive 2 | WalkingTalkingBible | 118134 | ||
Deuteronomy 22:25 is when a woman is raped (and the man force her) as opposed to verse 28 (hold - the Hebrew word "taphas" means to handle) does not mean rape. In the meantime, don't cast your pearls before the swine! Are these unbelievers trying to get answers for the sake of wanting to be saved or are they trying to discredit God and you?? Remember, the servant of the Lord must not strive. . . WalkingTalkingBible |

15 | How long should a person fast? | Bible general Archive 2 | WalkingTalkingBible | 118151 | ||
There's no set length of time to fast. As children of God, we know we need to fast often to keep the flesh under the subjection of the will of God. When you plan to fast, set the length - 24 hours, 3 days, a week, etc. Then stick to it. Also, some fast from certain things: TV, foods, different activities. We know that Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights (Matthew 4:2). Sometimes on a long fast, I may plan to drink water every 6 or 12 hours, but that's me and that's not everytime I fast. It's whatever you're lead to do (by the Holy Ghost). Plan also to study and meditate on the Word while you are fasting. If you are fasting to hear from God, or to get closer to Him, even maybe to kill out something ungodly you found in yourself, you want your fast to be successful. After you begin to fast, you'll be more comfortable in setting your length. I hope this helps some, WalkingTalkingBible WalkingTalkingBible |

16 | The age of accountability | Bible general Archive 2 | WalkingTalkingBible | 118153 | ||
This is a very good question. I like to say, "Mind of accountability" because salvation doesn't really have an age limit. When a young soul can understand that God is a living being, along with being able to acknowledge that he/she is a sinner, then he/she is accountable. If that soul never comes to know God, then he/she will separated from God eternally. But a little one who cannot understand this and has no idea even what sin is, won't be held accountable when he/she dies. These souls will see God. This brings to mind Revelation 20:12, "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."

17 | soul of unsaved people | Bible general Archive 2 | WalkingTalkingBible | 118154 | ||
This soul will immediately be separated eternally from God. It will go to hell (Hades/Sheol) which is like a "holding place" until the final judgment. Then, it's to the Lake of Fire (eternal separation from God). WalkingTalkingBible |

19 | Did God create all evil in Isa. 45:5-7 | Bible general Archive 2 | WalkingTalkingBible | 119096 | ||
The evil spoken of in Isaiah 45:5-7 is calamity, as physical and not moral. We have no control over tornadoes, earthquakes, some sicknesses, etc. We do have the choice to sin or not. God didn't let Satan take over the world, man did by sinning against God. When God created man, He created him in His image (Jesus) and His likeness (without sin) and gave him dominion over everything on earth (Genesis 26-28). When man sinned, dominion was lost to the devil and the sin separated man from God (Isaiah 59:2). Because of His love for man, Jesus gave His life so that man can be reconciled back to God if he chooses Him as Savior. WalkingTalkingBible |

20 | IM PREACHING ON SUNDAY!!................ | Bible general Archive 2 | WalkingTalkingBible | 119194 | ||
Hi, SAZ! I know what you're dealing with. Last year I had to teach about being single and saved, and I didn't know what to say. So, first, I asked God to give me what He wanted me to tell His people (He, only, knows what they need to hear). Then I fasted, and as I fasted, I wrote down what I had learned from God being single and saved. Then, I received my message (the same day I was going to speak) and many received it. I think what is most important is that you rely on God to give you want He wants you to preach. Use your own experiences as a young single Christian and don't worry about what you think they might want to hear. For Scripture, I would use 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 6:4, and Luke 1:37. I would back those up with the story of Rahab, the harlot who was saved, and her family (Joshua 2; 6:17,23-25; Hebrews 11:31) and the conversion of Saul (*to Paul, Acts 9). These are just what I would use, God may give you something totally different. I'm praying with you, WalkingTalkingBible |
