101 | Scripture Prophecy in the last days | Joel 2:28 | glory777 | 17129 | ||
Horizon- I think you are thinking of Joel 2:28-. Debbie |
||||||
102 | Are theregospels about Mary Magdeline? | Mark | glory777 | 17035 | ||
freespirit- I think I covered all of these in your other post, and no, the only gospels there are are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Debbie |
||||||
103 | Who was Mary Magdeline? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 17034 | ||
Freespirit- Other than the verse you have mentioned, check out Matthew 27:55-61; Luke 8:2-3; and John 20:1-18. I did not read anywhere about her going to live in the desert nor does the gospels mention any names of the devils. She didn't have any events in her life that gave her a bad reputation, but the story tellers in the present have. She is usually mentioned with older women so she must have been an older woman, also. She was a grateful follower of Jesus and nothing more than a good example for us to follow. Do not believe everything you hear, but search out in the scriptures the truth. Peace to you- Debbie |

104 | three factors in Jesus' birth which iden | NT general Archive 1 | glory777 | 16988 | ||
Beverly- I went to the site www.messiahreavealed.org and they give you everything you want to know about messianic prophecy. They deal with the facts that Jesus came from a poor family. Hope this helps. Debbie |

105 | who are the sons of god and how can one | Gen 6:4 | glory777 | 16986 | ||
calbabs- This is a verse that has some controversy. I believe it to mean, men from the line of Seth, holy men. Very easy to become a son of God. Repent of your sins, acknowledge that Jesus died on the cross for you, believe that He is God and ask Him to be lord of your life. Debbie |
||||||
106 | What is this verse meant to be? | Ps 139:7 | glory777 | 16954 | ||
Delaro- This is just a fact of God's omnipresence. He is everywhere. You can't go anywhere where He isn't beside you. You can't run away from Him and you can't hide from Him and He is always there when you need Him and want His closeness. What a comfort. Blessings- Debbie |

107 | Opinions of J. Falwell on WTC attack. | Rom 3:23 | glory777 | 16856 | ||
onnig- First, I believe that God is soveriegn, there is nothing that happens that He is not in control of. I believe everything that happens has a purpose and will eventually bring God glory, maybe not in our day, but someday. God knew what was going to happen and He is going to do something out of this. I do believe God lifted His hand of protection from us and look what happened. However, look at what the result of that is. People praying like never before. People are turning back to God and are not ashamed of speaking His Name. This nation reminds me so much of the OT Jews. They would turn away from God and serve other gods and even give their children to the fire in serving them (kind of remind you of dern day abortion, doesn't it?) but God would continue to call them back. Sometimes it would take catasrophe to get their attention. Yes, the terrorists were the cause of the tragedy, but had we stayed a God-fearing nation would it have ever happened? Who knows. Debbie |

108 | Can I trust this Pastor? | Hebrews | glory777 | 16854 | ||
Jensen- I agree with all who have written to answer your question. As you study and learn, you are going to find differences in thinking on some of the small issues, but as you read, you will see there are guidelines to follow and basic principles that are fundamental. I know that I could go to any one of the churches represented by those who contribute knowledgably to this forum and feel comfortable and fed by the Word. Debbie |

109 | Where was God? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 16589 | ||
prayon- I don't know if I can give a rational explaination even now, and I don't know if anyone can. I am still reeling over this, but how much more are the ones who don't have total faith in the Lord? I do know that God is soveriegn. Nothing happens on this earth that God does not allow and that won't eventually bring Him glory. I know that His ways are not our ways, His thoughts are high above. I know that so many things in the history of this world and in the history of individual lives ended up proving that. On a personal level, Job was devastated, and even the crucifiction of our Lord looked like a victory for Satan. But Job was blessed over and above all that he had originally and Christ was raised from the dead in the ultimate victory. I see everything in the last few years as being in God's plan. So many Christians were upset at Clinton's actions that in the last election there were more people praying than I had ever heard of or seen. Perhaps God put him in office for just that very reason - a choice had to be made - a godly man or a man who chose to follow his own desires. God knew what kind of a man was going to be needed for a time as we have just seen and are still seeing. In the immediate outcome of this tragedy, people of all denominations and faiths are on their knees crying out to God. I have never heard the media use the word "God" so much and so many people admitting that we need God's help. I am looking for a great working in the spiritual life of this country (and in fact the world - so many are crying to Him with us)and many people coming to the Lord because of this. Is spiritual revival worth it? Is living with God for eternity without pain, crying and no more death better than life here on earth (I am not advocating suicide or murder - when our lives here are over is in God's hand's, not ours)? We see things from our human view and in the now, we can't see the eternal view. What I do know, is that this act of war should be a wake up call for all Christians. I don't know if it will be the war that will usher in the antichrist or not, it is possible - that is in God's hands, but if ever a time was that we were called to show our true colors as Christians, now is the time. We were called to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We need to tell unbelievers, not just by our words but by our actions. People of other faiths (Islam included) need to know that Christ died for them, also. We need to show them the Jesus loves them, too, and let our love bring them to Christ. When people are scared, show them that those who are in Christ Jesus have His comfort, strengh and peace so they might wonder at the joy we have and come to know Him. We lost so many lives Tuesday, but the fields right now are whiter than they have ever been. We do not know what the Lord is planning, but we should always be looking up and know that He has a reason and that it will bring Him glory. God bless you - all who are grieving. But praise God, we do have hope! Debbie |

110 | Did you forgive the Tuesday terrorists? | Matt 6:14 | glory777 | 16375 | ||
Steve- God may love them, but I don't. I love the families of those who are mourning their loss. I love the firemen and policemen who are risking their lives for any victims that may still be alive, even though the odds are getting slimmer and slimmer. I will pray for them that they see before too late that Jesus is Lord and will accept Him as such, but I cannot love them. Until those that are murderers and worse are not covered by the blood of Jesus, God sees their sins, and, I don't believe, is too pleased with them, either. He may love them and mourn over them, but He will not tolerate sin, which is what Jesus' sacrifice was about. I want to see the ones who did this executed so they will not do this to any others. I want the ones who were behind the ones who did this executed so they can not sponsor any more of this terrorism. If old women could join the armed forces, I would volunteer, because I have nothing to lose and everything to gain, and in the process, could leave this world in a better situation. No scripture, no quotes, but the history of these terrorists shows there is no remorse and, they know just what they are doing. Debbie |

111 | Let unite in prayer believers in Christ! | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 16089 | ||
Father God- I ask you to bring healing to the families and friends of those who have lost loved ones in this horrendous situation. Bring healing to our nation as a whole and help it to realize that we can do nothing without you. Father, let this tragedy not cause the people of this nation to overreact. Give us all the wisdom to know that it was a fanatical faction that caused this, and not all of mid-eastern descent or of a faith other than Christian were responsible. And Father, we come to your knowing that the time of Jesus' return draws ever nearer. Give us the boldness and the willingness to follow your leading in bringing people to You. As a country who has drawn away, we are in as much need of evangelism as any country in this world. Give us hearts for the lost. I pray this in the precious Name of Jesus. Debbie |

To all- I would beseech you in the Name of Jesus to abstain from going to this web site. We are to keep our hearts and minds pure. This site was obviously created by a person who is very sick. By going to it, we are only encouraging the person who authored it. May the God of all that is holy guard your minds and hearts. Debbie |

113 | Should we call gov;t leaders' sin sin? | Luke 3:19 | glory777 | 15690 | ||
Welcome koinekid- I'm not positive on this, but I don't believe the general public had a voice in who led the government at that time. And yet, even then, Jesus gave us the words to give unto Caesar the things that are Caeser's and Paul restated that by telling us in Romans to pay taxes and obey the government (Roman 13:7). However, when the government gives us an order that is in direct opposition to what the Word of God tells us (Acts 5:27-29), we have a mandate to disobey. In our country, our government is chosen by the people. If after prayerful reveiw of the candidates and I believe seeing how their character and actions line up with God's Word, it is our responsibility to act with the freedom given to us and the wisdom given to us to vote for the one whom we believe will bring this country more in line with the guidelines God has set up. If an official is not doing what Jesus would do, we also are within our rights to tell it like it is. But we also have been told to pray for our leaders. God does appoint them,(I believe God put Clinton in office, just as much as Bush) and they will serve God's purpose for being there. Clinton's exploits caused this nation to ask itself "does character count?" and I don't know of an election where more people got down on their knees and prayed for God's will to be done. This past president caused people to eveluate where their allegiances are. And I would dare to say, no other president has had so many people praying for him to act in God's wisdom as G.W.Bush. This got a little off the subject, but I also look at John the Baptist who pointed out that one of the government officials (Luke 3:18)had acted immorally. Of course, he was also imprisoned for it and lost his head. It is a good thing that doesn't happen in this country, right? Debbie |

115 | Should we be using company computers? | Ex 20:15 | glory777 | 15427 | ||
Hi EdB- I don't have the option - I work in a factory that manufactures pistons. Definitely blue collar. But I was taught by my dad that when you get paid for a 40 hour week you work for 40 hours. If I had a desk job, it would depend on what the company policy allowed. If it took time away from work, then no. If it was OK during breaks, then yes. Relaxing at home- debbie |

116 | Does this mean God is the author of sin? | 2 Sam 12:11 | glory777 | 15360 | ||
RWC- God is not the author of sin, but He is righteous, and will allow personal freedom. Those who had evil done to them, God allowed, just as God allowed Eve to sin and punishment had to follow. Whenever people sinned, they were given fair warning. Whether they chose to follow, was their own choice. God could have withheld the evil that would take place, and we know who is in charge of evil, but because of their disobedience, what He had foretold would happen if they didn't, happened. At least this is my answer to those who say God is judgemental and just a God of wrath. He will also do anything and allow things to happen to bring His people to Him. God's peace. Debbie |

118 | Are Christians To Be Activists? | Esth 4:14 | glory777 | 15230 | ||
First, if there ever was an activist, Jesus was one. If there was wrong, He addressed the issue. He did not just tell others what to do, He did it. He mingled with and healed social outcasts. He taught compassion. But if there was hypocrisy, He confronted it. But everything He did, He did with prayer and in accordance with His Father's will. He was a one-man protester often and the only time He acted out His anger was with the money-changers in the temple, and then He took time before hand to plait the cords to chase them out (I wonder what went through His mind as he was doing the weaving?). We need to be the examples, the salt and light, first. As Nolan stated, we need Godly men in office to have prominence in working to change laws in accordance with God's Word, but we need to do our part and be active in worldly affairs by prayer and fasting. If action needs to be taken, it needs to be done in a Godly way, violence begets violence and does not show the love of Jesus. Love in Christ- Debbie |

119 | Are we forgiven? Does anyone know? | Matt 6:15 | glory777 | 15212 | ||
BillMc- But then you have the episode where Jesus is washing Peter's feet and tells him in essence, that, although he has salvation, he does need a foot washing every so often. And what about the verse that if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins? I think what you are talking about is that yes, we are saved, but we need the confession and asking God to forgive us, thanking Him for His forgiveness and knowing that He died for the sin we committed and so we WERE forgiven. However, if we don't confess our sin, we have broken fellowship with Him. Our forgiveness is waiting, but if we don't acknowledge that we need it and have it, we don't get it, our fellowship remains broken. Debbie |

120 | How be born of water and of the Spirit? | Bible general Archive 1 | glory777 | 15208 | ||
I don't believe the bible states when Lucifer was thrown out of Heaven. I think it is possible just shortly after God created the world (Gen 1:2)but this is just speculation. There has been a thread that deals with your second question. Believers can stop sinning. Granted, it takes time and a great commitment, and to say you will never sin is a lie, but you can sin less and less and days can go by without sinning, if you are walking in obedience to the Lord Jesus and depending on the Holy Spirit to guide you. It was not the blood and the sacrifices that God loved, but the way of the heart. If the sacrifices where out of love and obedience and with the faith in God, they were acceptable. But many had gotten into doing the sacrifices just to show they were good Jews all the while they were walking in disobedience and their hearts were far from God. Micah 6:6-8 shows what God desires. If the sacrifices were done out of love and a desire to be right with God they were accepted. But these were only a symbol of what was to come, the perfect sacrifice, the One sacrifice for all times, the Lord Jesus. The former was temporary, the Latter permanent. Praise to His Name. Debbie |
