101 | ghosts? | Eph 6:12 | GeorJoy | 101938 | ||
Many will say no, but I will attest to the fact that those who do either have not read scripture or simply do not understand it. Yes. I believe in such anomalies. I have experienced such. My bible states that it is real. Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The OT makes mention of at least one actual happening as well. I believe it was refered to as a spirit though, not ghost. They are basically one and the same. God Bless George |

(KJV)Phi 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. I can only imagine how the word moderation was translated "gentle spirit" in some versions. God Bless George |

103 | 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.

104 | 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 |

105 | God helps those who help themselves? | 2 Thess 3:10 | GeorJoy | 94042 | ||
Pro 13:4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. I would say that the diligent tend to help themselves. The sluggard waits for someone to do for him. The quote you speak of is not in scripture, but the thought is. George |

106 | 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 |

107 | 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 |

108 | 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.

110 | Did God write the Bible? | 2 Tim 3:16 | GeorJoy | 90004 | ||
(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 |

111 | Were human authors aware of inspiration? | 2 Tim 3:16 | GeorJoy | 92622 | ||
They knew they were in the Spirit. 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Would Paul have written the above if your answer were not as is stated below? Your answer is Yes. George |

112 | Only Gospels as Authority? | 2 Tim 3:16 | GeorJoy | 92624 | ||
2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; When they don't like what it says, men and women as well tend try to take down the author, human or otherwise. By doing so, they only prove what has been written. George |

113 | History Channel: Who Wrote the Bible? | 2 Tim 3:16 | GeorJoy | 100660 | ||
I didn't see it, but if it they stated anything other than the fact that"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:," they probably didn't know what they were talking about, for; 2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. They are mostly; 2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Though, as I said I did not see the program you speak of; in this self centered and pleasure seaking society today, I would be very surprised if I have not just discribed that program to a tee.

115 | advice | Hebrews | GeorJoy | 102090 | ||
I would attest that all "anyone" needs to understand is that Christ paid the sin penalty on the cross, and that one needs is to believe that, repent and be saved. For Gal 3:28 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. Exhorting in Christ George |

116 | Jesus made perfect? | Heb 5:9 | GeorJoy | 94402 | ||
Per Vincent's Word Studies And being made perfect Comp. Heb_2:10. The fundamental idea is the bringing of a person or thing to the goal fixed by God. Comp. Heb_7:11, Heb_7:19; Heb_9:9; Heb_10:1, Heb_10:14; Heb_11:40; Heb_12:23. Here of Christ's having reached the end which was contemplated in his divinely-appointed discipline for the priesthood. The consummation was attained in his death, Phi_2:8; his obedience extended even unto death. Perfect, as we know it is not nessisarily the biblical meaning in it's whole. George |

117 | 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. |

119 | Should one try to be clear or muddled? | 1 Pet 3:15 | GeorJoy | 101194 | ||
Oh Lord! anyone who knows anything about the person behind this keyboard, knows that I would love to answer these questions, sword in hand and, face to face with the ("humanist" or "so called Christian" who would rather not offend the world than to witness THE Word,) who asked them! This IS what I meant when I said in my profile that "some bring out the first of the transitive senses of my gift" of Exhortation... Some of my previous posts on this fourm, particularily those pertaining to homosexuality, marriage and even some noted to and in response to justme will set the tone for my answers to such questions.

120 | How do we preach the Gospel? | 1 John 2:2 | GeorJoy | 100324 | ||
You need not inquire as to their sins; Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Simply inform them that Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; --- but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. --- Yet Mat 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. And that Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever --- believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.--- Joh 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Don't make it complicated. It isn't. In fact, it is so simple that, in this complicated society, we fail to understand such simplicity... And whatever you do.... Don't forget to 2Ti 2:15 ---Study--- to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Next time, you will be answering the question, for Pro 8:32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. And Luk 11:28 ..., blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. In Christ George |
