102 | What is Docetism? Describe? | Bible general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 90318 | ||
An ignorant belief which was no more than heresy in early Christianity that Christ "only seemed" to have a human body and to suffer and die on the cross. Just another way to lead the ignorant away from the true Lord and Master. In not so many words, it is spoken of in the Word. KJV-Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; George |

This was simply his method of revenge, in burning the crops of his enemy. Nothing more. In his shoes, I'd have been mad too. I think it was pretty crafty. George |

(KJV)2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: What more can be said? George |

What possiable good could come from such a question as this? "if so name some"? To me, it as though you are asking the Ignorant to quote their Ignorance. George |

108 | Searching for the truth | 1 Thess 4:17 | GeorJoy | 89782 | ||
FytRobert The dead in Christ shall rise first. Anyone claiming any other gospel is a false prophit. However... This has nothing to do with your original question, which was: "According to the Bible, the penality for sin is death.Therefore, every human being must die! Did God make an exception for Elijah to escape death? Your comments, please." --- If you are seriously asking a question, I have given you the biblical answer, which was; "Death of the body is not what this scripture refers to. If it were, once you died, the penalty for your sins would be paid. The death the scripture refers to here is "Eternal Damnation in the lake of fire." If I am not badly mistaken, this is also referred to as the second death." --- What you have just stated was totally out of context with your original question. Since it has already been answered, any further discussion on this particular question would be senseless. God Bless George |

109 | Searching for the truth | 1 Thess 4:17 | GeorJoy | 89773 | ||
I thought my answer was SIMPLE... What more can one say? Could you not discern the truth from what I wrote? HE did not make an exception. Your answer is "NO...." No... Now that you have your answer, re-read my post and you will know why your answer is "no." If anyone gives you a "Yes." It is not biblical. Please forgive my bluntness. There is no malice intended. God |

111 | one pc of silver/one talbet | Matt 26:15 | GeorJoy | 89513 | ||
I don't recall the denomination of the pieces of silver ever having been mentioned, but depending on what they may have been, each was worth about 5 weeks of wages or more. If my math is correct, it would total about 3 years wages. I wonder what he is thinking about those wages right now. Judas'betrayal was part of the devine plan. The Lord knew before creation what Judas would do. Still, my carnal mind can not comprehend how, having known, been taught by and in the very presence of our Lord, Judas could have carried it out. The love of money is the root of all evil! How can anyone today not see this truth!?!?! Seeing, they do not see.... George |

112 | Why would God do that? | Gen 2:7 | GeorJoy | 89512 | ||
Let me answer your question with a question or two. (1) Why would a person plant a garden, knowing that there are going to be weeds in it? (2) If automobiloes could speak, would a Model A have had the right to ask Henry ford, "With all my imperfections, you know I'm going to end up in the junk yard, why have you created me? or why didn't you create me with air conditioning, an AM/FM sterio CD player and plush interior? You knew they would all be invented." "I am the potter. You are the clay." George |
||||||
113 | How important is self esteem? | Ezek 16:44 | GeorJoy | 89437 | ||
There is quite a bit in the New Testiment as well. (KJV) Rom 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. Mat 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 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. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." If one has no self esteem, it is doubtfull he could love himself. Where would this leave him where the "second great commandment" is concerned? George |

114 | Should women be teaching in churches? | 1 Tim 2:12 | GeorJoy | 89271 | ||
You decide. Paul also states elsewhere that there is no Greek or Jew, male or female in Christ. But remember that your decision is yours and does not bind others. Also remember that it is mans nature to have others accepts his beliefs concerning matters such as this. Judges Chapter 4 1Ti 2:11-15 See my other responses dated today 7/13/03 on this matter.

115 | Calling, contrary to scripture? | 1 Tim 2:12 | GeorJoy | 89269 | ||
What makes you think that the verses you quote forbid anything? Paul did not say that it was revealed to him that a woman was not to preach or have authority over a man. He did said "But (I) do not allow a woman..." Did he say that ANYONE ELSE WAS NOT TO ALLOW.... ? NO! What did he say. ANYONE stating otherwise is mixing LEAVEN with his bread. Didn't Paul himself state that there is neither male nor female in Christ? What about "Deborah" in the book of Judges? If Paul were condemning women as leaders, wouldn't he be condemning Gods having chosen a "WOMAN" to lead his people? I Think NOT. Those who interpreter Paul add too much leaven to the bread. And according to the word, they will have to account for their words. When proven wrong by the very Book one quotes, where is that going to leave one? See my answer to " Women whosay "God called me to pastor (?)" I don't care what men say! If one can't prove it scripturaly, It is only ones opinion. If Scripture says it, I believe it. If one can show me scripture that backs up ones belief without ones interpretation thereof, I will say it is FACT. Otherwise it is OPINION or leaven. Nothing more! George |

116 | Women whosay "God called me to pastor | 1 Tim 2:12 | GeorJoy | 89265 | ||
I'm not an authority, but I have done some serious study on this matter as it is close to my heart. For I will not be mislead. I like the way you put it. "when men will not step up to the plate, women sometimes have to." So far my studies have not shown me anything biblically that "I beleive" directly forbids a woman to preact. Paul puts up a good argument against such in his first epistle to Timothy 2:11-15. If you will note however, he says "But I suffer not a woman to teach." He didn't command that a woman not teach. He said "But I suffer not a woman to teach." And he then gave his reason. Which in my humble opinion was a very good one. However, in the book of Judges, was there not a woman who once led Israel as a prophet? There was. It will be a good experience if you research this if you are not aware of it. Also.... In Galations Paul writes Gal 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. PAULS OWN WORDS WERE "there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. My personal studies would conclude that although, as he specifically stated that "he" was against women preachers, Paul left it up to the individual and the church to make the decision as to whether their preacher would be male or female for "there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." And that there are other occurrances in the word that uphold my conclusion. If one takes "the WHOLE bible into consideration," they would concur. God has not contradicted his word. It has simply been mis-interprited. Perhaps some leven has gotten to your bread. It is not a contradiction of Gods word for a woman to preach. I defy anyone to "PROVE BIBLICALLY" otherwise. If this can be done "through the word, and in a "Christ like" manor, I will post an appology. Otherwise I simply don't care to hear mans "levin." George |

117 | hoping to turn christian soon | Matt 7:14 | GeorJoy | 89261 | ||
There is NOIF; Jesus did die for our sins! Sin remains because many have not accepted His sacrifice. Even those who have accepted still sin because they are mortal and weakin the flesh. (KJV) Mat 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. "The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." (GNB)Heb 9:28 In the same manner Christ also was offered in sacrifice once to take away the sins of many. He will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are waiting for him. Save them from what? The tribulation period. (GNB)Gal 3:22 But the scripture says that the whole world is under the power of sin; and so the gift which is promised on the basis of faith in Jesus Christ is given to those who believe. Sin will rein in this worldtill the devil is bound. God will eventually eliminate all sin. UNTIL THAT DAY, OUR ONLY HOPE FOR SALVATION IS HIS SON WHO PAID THE PRICE FOR SIN WHICH IS DEATH...!!!...

118 | hinderances to correct understanding | Heb 10:1 | GeorJoy | 86692 | ||
You said, "Do church goers begin to embrace certain teachings, because they have been indoctrinated by denominational creeds, and statements?" There is no one other than the particular individual who can answer this question. My years of experience and observance of human nature would lead me to say yes, and no. I would sat that it depends on the individual "church goer." Some go to a particular church because it teaches what they want to hear, or what they believe. Others go to learn and, or to fellowship with those of their belief. Still others go to church just because their neighbors or friends go. They feel, or have been taught that they have to do what others do to be accepted. Some go because they desire to know what church is all about. Others go because they feel that church will get them into heaven. Who cares why others go to church. What they do or don’t do isn’t going to matter where your salvation is concerned. The various denominations once hindered me. I am now what I consider “NON DENOMINATIONAL.” The Holy Bible is my only denomination. Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of all who believe in Him. He rose after 3 days, and later ascended to be at the right hand of God the Father. If the church preaches that, and adheres to the other teachings of the Holy Bible, as far as I am concerned, everything else is just icing on the top of the cake. Some like chocolate, some coconut, others like strawberry or vanilla icing. Personally, I like em all, as long as the filling is REAL. Church or denomination isn’t going to get anyone to heaven. Hopefully, if the church is what it was intended to be, it will show many, (no matter the denominational beliefs,) the way to get there though. 2 Timothy 2:15-16 KJV Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth 16) But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. Bottom line… We are each responsible for the health and well being of our own soul. Going to church is like going to a restaurant. Some like Chinese, others like Mexican, while still others like good ole Country cooking. Whatever a persons taste, they go to a restaurant because they are hungry and need nourishment. It is the same where churches are concerned, except instead of being a physical hunger and need for nourishment; it is a spiritual hunger and need for nourishment. |

I also would have to quote Ro 14:21 I would add however Mat 15:16-19 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: I would also carefully consider the following. 1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1Co 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

120 | Pt.2 A Female Oversee | 1 Sam 25:10 | GeorJoy | 86365 | ||
It is odd that I in such discussions I have yet to hear anyone quote 1 Timothy 2:14. I like the way the NIV puts it. I think it says it all. "And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. " I suppose people will listen to whom they will listen. I have heard some very gifted women preaching the word of God. There is a little voice I personally have inside. It's more a feeling, or an inner knowledge than a voice. Every time I have ever gone against that inner "whatever it is," I have regretted it. That voice along with a non-biased study of the word, tells me that The Lord intended for MAN to be the head of the family, the teacher and instructor. And likewise the leader of His Church. There are many fools out there that call themselves men, but just because they are fools don’t mean that woman was ever meant to fulfill their responsibilities. In1 Sam 25:20-39, I recall an occurrence where the King David was going to kill a certain fella who was, what some this day aould call a regular blankety blank... This fellas wife begged the King not to kill him and in not so many words said "he may be a fool, but he is my fool." For her sake the King didn’t kill him. Well, as it ended up, the Lord killed that fella. The King wound marrying the fools wife. From a fools wife to a Kings wife! I wonder if the King would have married her if she had been aspiring to the Priesthood? Women have their responsibilities in in spreading Gods word... If they would only follow their exzmples in Gods word. GeorJoy My screen name represents my name and my wifes name. Not the other way around. She bears my family name. Not the other way around. Adam was created, then Eve. Not the other way around. Eve was the first to be deceived. Not the other way around. Like it or not. These are the facts. And the latter can not be changed. |
