John 1:25 They asked him, and said to him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?" Why did the religeous leaders of the day ask this question?

6 | Am I Biblically free to marry? | Bible general | meta | 243737 | ||
Dear Friend, Your desire for freedom is a good thing. There is a freedom that is far more valuable than the freedom to remarry. It is the freedom to live a new life unto God by the power of the resurrection. Let me commend you for your actions of stepping down from a fraudulent ministry position. You took a stand for truth and for God. Bless you for that. Obviously this was undermining to the enemies plans and He was able to use your wife to come against what The Holy Spirit was intending to do with the two of you. It seems you were poised for repentance and a renewed walk with Christ. One in which you could come to know the King of Love better which would also bring deeper satisfaction in your relationship with Him and with her. If you want an answer from the Law I would say that you are free to marry. If you want an answer from the Spirit, It would be a step in a very wrong direction at this time. It should be obvious that something which opposes God is operating in your life. You will not have a successful relationship with any woman until you are healed and delivered from what ever is operating in your life. This is an obviouse pattern and ther is no evidence that you are in any position to avoid its consequences again and continuously in your future. It is like a snowball rolling downhill. The problem will only get bigger until it hits a tree. That tree is the tree our savior was crucified on. The cross is your hope right now. If you confess your sin He is faithful to forgive your sin and cleanse you of all unrighteousness. God mays have someone for you in the future but He cannot bless any relationship that you enter into until He prepares you for that relationship. The only way that can happen is to grow into a beautiful healthy relationship with Jesus Christ. I have some good news for you. Jesus wants that for you even more than you do and He is willing to take you there.It is not up to you to make it happen. We are not self made men in the Kingdom of God. All of the good that is found in us is produced by The Spirit of God. Our part is to be honest about our sin and to agree with Him in what He desires for us. He is willing and able to bring about a relationship with Himself that is filled with joy and a freedom that is so far beyond what you can now comprehend. It requires a couple of things on your part though. 1/ That you agree that you need a new life in Him. 2/ That He wants that for you too. 3/ That you cannot make that happen. 4/ YOU MUST BELIEVE THAT HE WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN. The scripture says that if we pray according to God's will He hears us and if He hears us we know we have the answer to our request. The scripture also says that when we pray we are to believe that we have received the answer to our request and then it shall be done for us. It should be obvious by now that this new life will have to start with a new prayer life. He will bring it about but we must want it. It is not a tedious repition of requests we hope will be answered. It starts with falling in love and experiencing intimacy with your Savior. It is Him you must seek. It is possible for you to try and find a good biblical church with a righteous man at the helm but end up deceived again. Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are able to find that right church and pastor for you. Again you must learn how to pray. He is your teacher. He will take you there. He will even inspire the prayers. Remember If you ask for a piece of bread He will not give you a stone. If you ask for a fish He will not give you a serpent You have a whole new life awaiting you in Christ. Never give up hope, keep reaching out to this forum and other people you can trust. When it comes to The Kingdom of God you are like a baby that is learning to walk. It doesn't matter how long you have been a Christian. The Kingdom of God is so much bigger and more glorious than you ever imagined. Its time to go for it. When you find yourself saying "There must be more" you are on the right track. This is my prayer for you based on Eph.3:16-21 I ask our Father that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man; so that Christ may dwell in your heart through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen (I would memorise) God Bless you. Let Him create a man worth giving to a woman then He may find a woman worth giving to that man. However by that time it will be far less important. Your desire for Love will be filled with Him. |

7 | where is the joy of my salvation? | Bible general Archive 4 | meta | 210276 | ||
Jude 1:24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, Col 1:11 strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously Hi Linda, I would not be too quick to give up on joy being more present and more dynamic. It is easy to explain away the absence of something in our life by adjusting our theology rather than asking God for more. It is good to question why there is not more. As I am sure you are aware having all that God promises us at any one point in time is neither a threat to, or evidence of salvation. You are His and He is yours. That is wonderfully obviouse. Be sure to tell the devil he is a liar whenever he throws that kind of stuff at you. Having a burden for the lost does not take away joy. Somebody please provide scriptural evidence for that. In fact it may produce the opposite. Matt 25:21 "His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master. "Enter into the joy of your Master" That is a fairly powerful statement made by Christ Jesus. also Luke 15:7 "I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. John 15:11 "These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. Luke 6:23 "Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets. Leap for joy. hmmmmm is that a deep abiding thing but no smile? I don't think so. Jesus has so much more for you than you are presently experiencing. With hope and faith we reach forward to take hold of everything He has for us. Ther are many more scriptures on this subject. How does it make you feel to know that you will experience this joy. The attack against you by the enemy is to question your faith or right standing based on not experiencing something now that the scriptures talk about. Is this statement true Rom 14:17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Sure it is and Luke 12:32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom. If you are burdened or grieved over the lost then a few things can happen. A/ inntercede. Whenever a burden comes from the Lord it is to be released. Just yield to Him in prayer. the burden will be released and so will His power to save the ones He has burdened you with. Sometimes it is actually a calling that can last untill He gets the results He is after It may take months. You should not however walk around unhappy. That is simply not true. The Loving God that made you and made this wonderfull creation for you including every flower, plant, bird, animal, valley and mountain sings over you now and died for you to have eternal life. He gave His only Son that you moight have life and have it more abundantly. Believe me He wants you to be happy. What kind of witness is it to the world for us to explain away joy and make unsubstantiated statements about God not wanting us to be happy. The bottom line is we are growing. There is so much more God has for us. Thank God for the joy you do have however much or little that is and thank Him that He is not finished with you yet and thank Him that He has so much joy for you to experience yet. I believe that you will have so much joy due to the fact that you hunger for it. Keep hungering and you shall be filled. Matt 5:6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. I believe it would be a very appropriate victory for you to receive so much revelation on this topic and so much joy in your heart that it will make Satan very sorry he ever attacked you in this area by trying to bring confusion. Bless you. Be filled with His Joy. It is Yours. |

Please help me out here. What scripture causes you to think that there is a return to "the law" (ie as a practice of animal sacrafices etc.)during a period referred to as the millenium? The millenium by the way is not a biblical term. I am not challenging you. I just would like to understand. Thanks Meta |

10 | Pierced Jesus side | Bible general Archive 4 | meta | 221263 | ||
The sabbath was approaching and the soldiers came to break the legs of the men that were crucified. This was to prevent them from pushing up with their feet so they could breathe. They would then suffocate. Hanging from their arms with no way to relieve the pressure of their body weight collapsing the lungs. Jesus gave up His Spirit and died before the time to break the legs. The soldier pierced Jesus' side in order to prove that he was in fact already dead not to kill Him. John 19:30 Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit. John 19:31 Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. John 19:32 So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with Him; John 19:33 but coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. John 19:34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. John 19:35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe. John 19:36 For these things came to pass to fulfill the Scripture, "NOT A BONE OF HIM SHALL BE BROKEN." John 19:37 And again another Scripture says, "THEY SHALL LOOK ON HIM WHOM THEY PIERCED." |

Hello Beja, Christ and His Church sounds good to me. I have more questions than answers when it comes to this. I have not spent much time studying this topic at all. I do however believe that dreams and visions are just that dreams and visions. Interpretation is not simple. I also believe that when it comes to dreams and visions many very respectable scholars have many different views. I have come to two simple conclusions. 1/ They are important and God is communicating something that He does want us to understand. 2/ Chronology is very seldom obvious in respect to these matters. Please forgive my ignorance but the only thing I am certain about regarding the end times is that it sometimes sounds scary and sometimes promising and one thing is for certain, if I love and cherish Christ and get as close to Him as possible, pray for the grace to be obedient, seek His face and love holiness I should be ok. I am not trying to be flippant or challenging. I would appreciate to hear your views on these scriptures and the end times. It may help me to form a more clear understanding. My challenge of the word Millenium was simply that I do not see the term in scripture. I am aware that it refers to the 1000 year reign when Satan is bound. I do not know when it occurs. What I do find puzzling is that he is then released to do some nasty things. I am not challenging Gods Character or sovereignty or the accuracy of Scripture. It is just puzzling. I am open to any light you may shed on these matters or any good books you would recommend. Thank you Meta |

I do believe that you are correct. Gods Laws is too general. The Mosaic Law is broad though. I believe he is referring to the laws concerning temple sacrifice which would be part of the Mosaic Law. I cannot speak for watchman, perhaps he does believe it is a return to the whole of Mosaic law. |

Hi Keliy, You are not gruff, be blessed. And you are correct in what you said about my taking note of the word millenium. What was I thinking. I know it means 1000 years. I was being silly. To say that my statement will lead to misleading doctrines implies that you have this area nailed down. I know that is not what you meant It is ok to state your views however I have strained at a gnat and swallowed a camel before. The more important issue is to manifest the love of Christ and adhere to Eph 4:29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. In our disecting of truth we need to be careful not to cut the members of our own body with the scalple. I utterly reject your sympathy. That is for your protection as well as my own. I am certain that you are not aware of what you are saying and I consider it nothing more than a slip of the tongue but I must not receive it. I believe your intent is basically good. I find that this forum does sometimes have a flavor of judging and rebuking one another rather than simply aiding one another in our search. It is unnecessary and uncomly. It is also very easy to fall into. How do I know? From picking the pebbles out of my own forehead. I look forward to further posts Love in Him Meta |

Excellent keliy, Thank you. That was very well put. You are right I ought not to have said " I am certain that you are not aware of what you are saying " That was presumptuous and inaccurate. Forgive me. Also when it comes to sympathize I may have over reacted. Here is a definition. 1. To feel or express compassion, as for another's suffering; commiserate. 2. To share or understand the feelings or ideas of another: sympathized with the goals of the committee. 3. To be in accord; correspond. My reaction was due to the fact that I am more familiar with definition #1. That I could not come under. However #2 and #3 are uses I can receive. Thanks again Meta |

17 | Can someone explain God's favor to me? | Bible general Archive 4 | meta | 233495 | ||
You have received some helpful and insightfu answers. I would like to clarify a couple of points. First, a calling does imply that it is from God and for a specific purpose. It cannot be limited to what many people believe ministry is. The term to minister means to serve. It does not mean only or specifically in the capacity of pastor, teacher, deacon or any other church affiliated function. That is unless you greatly broaden the use of the term church. God calls people as artists, He also provides a grace for them to function in that role. In this instance Grace can be described as a power working within us lifting us from death (and everything leading to death) into Life (and everything that leads to spiritual Life). It can also mean an ablility from God or even favor that causes divine influence on circumstances to yield to your presence and purpose. He may call somone into nursing or agriculture. Anyone can develop skills but one who is called has the added grace to develop those skills and will therefore stand out and make a difference spiritually as well. In this case He provides grace. The bible mentions a number of kinds of grace. Abundance of grace Rom 5:17, Abundant grace Acts 4:33. The bible speaks of being full of grace John 1:14 and Acts 6:8. It also speaks of grace upon grace John 1:16. It seems there are a number of different things grace can be or do. God did not however give grace to pharoah. The scripture says He hardened pharoa's heart (that is an entire study in itself). He did not give grace to Judas. This goes against basic preschooler theology God good, Devil bad. John 1:15 states that God is light and there is no darkness in Him. James 1:13 states Let no one say when he is tempted, “ I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. |

18 | The Lord our God works through man, why? | Bible general Archive 4 | meta | 234127 | ||
Well things have gotten a little messy here. First God is Love. As brothers and sisters in Christ we are actually a part of each other and the world will know us by the love we have for each other. Regardless of the rules here. God did many things without using man before he gave man dominion over all the earth. Even Jesus authority on earth was based on His humanity. The earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof however He is truth and will not violate His covenant with us. That does not mean He will not intervene but it is highly likely that most intervention is based on man requesting action from God. That being said God does expect us to exercise dominion over not only creation but also authority over spirits of darkness. Unless you consider serpents and scorpions to be taken literally. Luke 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. He gave Adam dominion. Gen 1:26-28 … fill the earth and subdue it and rule over the fish of the sea…and over every living thing that moves on the earth. It was because Adam had dominion over the earth that the earth became cursed when he sinned. Eve sinned and nothing happened. Gen 3:6 That is because God gave Adam dominion before she was formed. God instructed Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil before He fashioned Eve from his rib. Perhaps the clearest scripture is this. Psalm 115:16 The heavens are the heavens of the LORD, But the earth He has given to the sons of men. We know that Jesus had to be born of a woman for two reasons 1/ He had to be under come under the law. This is the only way He could fulfill the law. That is the whole reason God chose Abraham and made a nation then gave that nation His laws. The purpose of the law was not to perfect Israel for that was never possible. Rom 8:3, and Heb 7:18-19 He could not be a son of Adam. Generational sins and curses come down the fathers line and not the mothers. Once again Eve sinned first but creation did not fall until Adam sinned. Important note. Not later when God pronounced the curse but at the very moment Adam sinned So even if God could have found a way for the Spirit of Christ to be born of a woman and a man He would have inherited generational curses and sins. Man had dominion and he had submitted himself to Satan through his sin. So it was essential that He be the seed of the woman but not of a man. So being a man himself with nothing passed from previous generations He remained sinless and he had dominion because he was a man. When Jesus left He gave the Holy Spirit to fill us with His life so through us He could legally exercise dominion in the earth. There is now a and forever will be risen human being on the throne in heaven beside the Father It is the church that will subdue even the spirits of darkness for the greatest victory of all time Ephesians 3:10-1110 so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, and Eph 3 16-20 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, Look at the last 8 words. According to the power that is at work within us. God pours himself into man, He fills man with himself, His life flows through man resulting in Holiness and Power. In fact to a very great degree God limits Himself to what will be done through Man. His Son is a man on the throne of heaven. Yes He is God and we are not. We worship Him and fall at His feet in awe of His magesty and Splendor However It has not yet entered the heart of man what God has prepared for him (or what He has prepared him for). 1 |

19 | Am I going to Hell for attending UMC | Bible general Archive 4 | meta | 234262 | ||
Weather or not you go to hell has nothing to do with what church you attend. Romans 8:33-34 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 33 Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; 34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Christ died and was raised for you. (more for the Father than for us I believe). If Jesus Christ includes you in His Salvation then it will not be good for your friend to pass a sentence of eternal destruction on someone by making such foolish and careless judgements. You should forgive them and pray for them so that something unpleasant does not befall them. Job 42:7-10 7 It came about after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has. 8 Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you. For I will accept him so that I may not do with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.” 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job. 10 The Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends, and the Lord increased all that Job had twofold. |

20 | baptism | Gen 2:21 | meta | 236219 | ||
I believe you mean the new covenant was enforced. The new testament is a collection of scriptures. The writings of the apostles which make up that section of our Bible. The new Covenant has to do with the basis of our relationship with God after the Cross(to be brief and simple). I would also be more inclined to refer to the new covenant as being something we enter into rather than something enforced. But I do understand your intent. Some would also refer to the time period as a dispensation. you can google dispensationalism and get a quick idea of what some christian beliefs are regarding this. There are better sources but it is quick and helpful. Bless you |
