Doc If in the most basic truths of the scripture, there is still an argument raging in your mind against the obvious truths of God's word, start again, ask God what is right, the word or some other mans theology? I am certain he will say, "My word is truth, no other theology." John 17:17. If he doesn't say that, all mankind is lost. Don't lean so heavily on another man and his theology of long time past, "vain is the help of man" Psm 60:11 "through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies" Psm 60:12 ( both flesh and evil spirits). I assume you know the source of good and evil? Only good comes down from God James 1:17, Micah 6:8 Good is doing justly, loving mercy and humbling yourself to walk with (obey) God. Evil is the opposite of Good! unjust, merciless, pridefilled, disobedience to God. Humility is described as the walk of Jesus: "and being found in fashion as a man, he HUMBLED himself, (how?) and became OBEDIENT....(to whom? God!)(how long? Up to and including)the death of the cross" Phil 2:8 You do realize that is speaking of Jesus even though his name is not "specifically" mentioned in that verse????? Many things are discerned, not just read. God will put the pieces together for you as you do as Jesus said to do, " If you continue in MY WORD THEN you are my disciples (learners) indeed; and you SHALL know the TRUTH and the truth (you know) shall make you free" John 8:31-32 He was talking to Jews that BELIEVED on Him.... There is a difference between a believer and an unbeliever! A believer, believes the word of God. An unbeliever disputes and opposes the word of God. Always in Chirst, C.S.M. |

Response: Doc I did not assert that man does not yeild to sin. There is a difference in the issue of "who is the author of sin, which is opposition to God and his word on every subject" and "does mankind yeild to sin". Of course I gave you Ro 6:16 Know ye not, that TO whom you yield yourselves servants to obey,HIS servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness.The point being HIS is a personal pronoun denoting not a situation but a person. Mankind in the garden of Eden made a choice between two persons, God or satan, as we know they chose to obey satan. The result of that DISOBEDIENCE is called sin. Who was the author of subilty? Was it God or satan? Gen 3:1 Did God attempt to deceive the creatures he created in his own image? Gen 1:27? No, it was satan, the subtile one who wanted them to yield their obedience to him so they would be his servant as Romans 6:16 states very clearly. Can a man be drawn away of HIS OWN LUSTS (DESIRES)? Of course, but that was not the issue. Can a man be drawn away of his own will? Ro 7:18 Paul the man that wrote approx. 2/3 of the New testament, in describing the difference between the flesh and the spirit of man, stated about himself, "For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing: for TO WILL is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not." If that was true about the man that God used to write most of the new testament, how much more is that true of every other human being? Paul, in plain Greek (tranlated to English), told us what the flesh is in that passage, it's his self will. Doing opposite, of what God said, in Plain Greek, English, and every other language, has stated is truth: is sin, the author of sin is satan and the perpetrator of sin is a man that yields to satan to obey him, doing opposite of Gods clearly stated word! You do realize that man is a spirit, he has a soul, and he lives in a body. Paul in I Thes 5:23 in praying for BELIEVERS not sinners, prayed: " I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ." (Preserved from what? sin! satan!) How do we know? God is a Spirit (John 4:24) and they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth (and John 17:17 says truth is: God's word), and We are made in his image, Gen 1:27 which John 4:24 say God's image is spirit! If words mean anything, a child can discern this. The spirit is God's image. The soul is made up of mind, will and emotion. The Body is the flesh house your spirit and soul is lodged in. Otherwise why would the Apostle Paul state In I Thes 5:23 I pray God, your whole spirit, AND soul, AND body be preserved???? Mankind is a three part being! spirit, soul and body. Each part is separate and distinct. If a student of scripture cannot discern between what is being said about each of these distinct areas, they will never be able to correctly (rightly) divide the word of God.II Tim 2:15 If the word can be rightly divided, it can be wrongly divided. If it is rightly divided, God's truth shines forth out of darkness. If it is wrongly divided it shrouds in darkness and blinds the mind. Who is the blinder of minds? II Cor 4:4. I'm assuming you do not know that the "god of this world" is speaking of satan, since his name is not specifically mentioned. Ask yourself the question? Who is the opposser of God? Why does he oppose God? Is it wise to oppose God? Who is the most subtile creature in the universe? Who is the liar, Jesus identified? Who is the source of truth, Jesus identified? Are they exact opposites (the truth teller and the liar)? Are they both spirits? Are people spirit, soul and body? Does mankind operate only on a flesh, aka carnal, level only? Does mankind operate on a spiritual level, in the image of God? Can you discern what is spirit and what is flesh? Is there a difference between spirit and flesh? Can you identify the difference. I have not detected in your answers given to date that you are aware we are dealing with a natural world and a spiritual world simultaneously. While we are in a devil infested world system, we will deal with spirits called devils. I did not say any human had to obey satan, I did not say a human could not yield to satan, what I did say is, satan exists, you will have to deal with him as Jesus said to do in Mark 16:15-20 and it would do you good to quit fighting the obvious and get down to the business Jesus said to do "preach the gospel and cast out devils" among the other things he said to do. But first you must discern there are such things as devils, he is the oppressor, God tells the truth, and it is not up to God to agree with mankind, it is up to mankind to agree with God! |

103 | God is the winner. THE TRUTH! | Acts 10:38 | C.S.M. | 154644 | ||
response:Doc CSM If killing, stealing and destroying is not sin then satan is not the author of sin! If killing, stealing and destroying is sin, then satan "IS" the author of sin! John 10:10 If lieing is a sin, then satan is the author of sin. John 8:44 Jesus stated, "You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode NOT IN THE TRUTH, because there is NO TRUTH in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own; for HE IS A LIAR, and the FATHER of it." That agrees with John 10:10 You don't have to agree with me about the subject but it would behoove you to agree with Jesus! I conclude by the Masters own word, satan is the author of sin! A liar! A killer! A destroyer! A thief! Jesus also said, John 8:47 "He that is OF GOD hears God's words: you therefore hear them not, because you are not of God." Remember Jesus said John 17:17 "(God) your WORDS are TRUTH." God's word is Gods' truth, and it is Gods' truth, his word only, that will set mankind free. John 8:31-32 according to Jesus Christ, MY savior! Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no man comes to the Father except by Him. John 14:6 Personally Ro 3:4 that states: "let God be true and EVERY MAN a liar" be my guide. I believe what God has said is current truth, not past, not future, for every person born on this planet. It could be a thousand years from now when someone would pick up the Bible and read God's words and they would be just as relevant to that person as they were to the "first" Adam, people now, or any person in the future. Why? God never changes, He is the truth, and truth never changes, He is right, He's the winner! CSM |

104 | Dear Doc Isa 14:8 | Acts 10:38 | C.S.M. | 154596 | ||
Dear Doc, Another passage is Isaiah 14:4 as some scholars state that in scripture when the prophet was speaking of "a king" over a nation it refers to the demonic force controlling the "prince" which we would call a king on earth, of that nation. The scripture many times speaks of a natural kingdom and the spiritual kingdom that controls that kingdom..The criteria of that statement is Ro 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom you eield yourselves servants to obey his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness. Do we agree that satan is the author of sin as Jesus is the author of faith? In that context all of mankind is either serving God or satan. That also agrees with Eph 2:1-3 with the descriptive terms used for satan as "prince of the power of the air", "the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience", these children are also called "the children of wrath" which I discern are those who have obeyed satan "also called wrath," rather than God. We realize the battle between God and satan is the battle for the minds, wills and emotions, or souls of mankind. Isaiah 14:4 (knowing that satan is the oppressor)in the spiritual realm, and the ruler of Babylon was obeying him, we realize that Isa 14:8 is talking about the final defeat of satan,"Since you are laid down, no feller (human being) is come up against us." II Tim 3:16 tells us ALL scripture is given by inspriation of God....so whatever is written is given directly from God's throne, whether it was spoken from the lips of Jesus or inspired by The Holy Spirit or written by the writers of the Old and New Testaments. God is eternal and he had the whole book written over centuries by different "pencils" aka known as prophets, priests and kings, apostles etc. Of course you are right, it was not a direct quote from Jesus, but by the inspirataion of God through Peter, when he went under God's direction to the house of Cornelius, and the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word..Acts 10:44..and part of that word was Acts 10:38. Peter was on his mission commanded of God, and he was reciting the works of God, "how GOD anointed Jesus with THE HOLY GHOST and POWER who went about doing good and HEALING all that were oppressed of the devil." Acts 10:38 Matt 4:23 and 9:35 states the three fold plan of the ministry of Jesus: Teaching, Preaching, and Healing. As we read the gospels these are the three things he did continually. He is our example and we are to do John 14:10, 12, Jesus declared that it was "the Father in me,..he doeth the works" then promptly states "He that believes on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do because I go to my Father." The church today is supposed to be doing these things like Jesus said, and to do that a person has to realize where the oppression comes from, and when satan is laid down, there won't be any more oppression. God is not the oppressor, mankind, without satan's influence, won't be fighting each other any more or oppressing according to Isa 14:8. C.S.M. |

105 | to doc | Gen 1:1 | C.S.M. | 154563 | ||
Dear Doc, No blasphemy intended or implied. Oppression is of the devil according to Acts 10:38, of course it comes through people so some would assume there is a dividing line between some oppression and others, yet if we truely believe the words of Christ he does know the source of all things, including oppression. He said it is of the devil, no human being said that.... I will never blaspheme Jesus, sorry you were offended. Always In Christ, C.S.M. |

106 | I need a brief summary on Ephesians | Ephesians | C.S.M. | 154523 | ||
1. God's plan for mankind before the foundation of the world. 2. God's provision for mankind through Jesus Christ. 3. God's revelation of the workings of his plan through the gospel preached. |

107 | Eph the rest of the answer CSM | Ephesians | C.S.M. | 154522 | ||
The rest of the answer C.S.M. The book of Ephesians for the Church... Don't ask me how, it just does! That will get you started on your quest to know what God has provided for believers in Christ. If a person were to try to explain every scripture you would miss the pleasure of asking God to teach you. He is, after all, the one who knows more than any human being could ever phathom, he wrote the book. Ask him to give you understanding, according to the prayer Paul prayed for all believers of all times Eph 1:15-23 as follows: Father, God of my Lord, Jesus Christ, you who are the Father of Glory, give unto me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you (and for the acknowledgement of you). Open the eyes of my understanding and enlighten them, that I may KNOW the hope of your calling the riches of your inheritance in the saints the exceeding greatness of your power to me because I believe the working of your mighty power KNOW the working you worked in Christ when you raised him from the dead! Know you set him at your own right hand in heaven KNow you set him FAR ABOVE all principality power might dominion every name that is named in this world and in the world to come and you put all things under his feet gave Jesus the head over all to the church the church is his body Jesus and the church is the fullness of God. Eph 2:4 God you are rich in mercy and your great love, Eph 2:5 made us alive together with Christ. How? Eph 1:6 God accepted us in Christ and that is God's Grace!!!! Eph 2:8 For by (God's acceptance of us in Christ Jesus)grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it (actuall He,Jesus) is the gift of God (to mankind for our salvation). That is the plan of God from before the foundation of the world according to Paul in Eph 3:3 the mystery; (as I wrote before in Eph Chapters 1 and 2, in a few words....whereby when you read you may UNDERSTAND my knowledge in the mystery of Christ).. REad the rest of the story through Chapter 6 to find out more... C.S.M. |

108 | Binding and loosing | Eph 5:22 | C.S.M. | 154515 | ||
Of course everyone thought oppression was of the human on human kind...Funny Jesus didn't think that was the source... Acts 10:38 God anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost and power, who went about doing good and healing all THAT WERE OPPRESSED OF THE DEVIL! Poor Ol' Jesus, he missed it I guess? |

109 | Binding and loosing | Eph 5:22 | C.S.M. | 153906 | ||
Ephesians 5:22 Wives, be subject (be sumissive and ADAPT yourselves) to your own husbands as (a service) to the Lord. This rendering adapt yourselves to..is a better picture of the intent of this verse. It is alway an adaptation when two people get married. Both come from differing backgrounds, different expectations of what "life" together should be, and that is where the thorns on the rose show up. Adapting to your husband, in the Lord, is different than adapting to your husband if he is abusive, ungodly, and unwilling to know Christ and his way, truth and lifestyle. There is a scripture that states, "How can two walk together except they be agreed?" Amos 3:3 Of course that is God talking to Israel, but it also applies to any two people that desire to "walk together" in marriage, business, etc. Jesus put it this way, "house divided against itself cannot stand."Mark 3:25 So here we see in these words of God that agreement in God, his word, ways, means and directions is what eliminates division and disunity between a husband and wife. Of course we realize that satan is the one that comes to kill, steal and destroy, John 10:10, so guess what he will put in your home? Division, and disunity on the most important part of your life, your walk with God, in Jesus Christ. The key we must all realize that opens the doors to kick satan out of the situation is found in Ephe 6:12 "For we wrestle NOT against flesh and blood, but against principalitites, powers, rulers of the darkness (hatreds) of this world (system ran by satan), against wicked spirits in high places." This tells us our spouse is not our enemy, but these demonic beings behind the strife is the ones we are to resist. How? Jesus told us we have the power to bind and loose. That power was not given to bind and loose people, but to bind and loose spirits that harrass you or help you. You may say, what do you mean? We identified the wicked spirits in Ephe 6: that harrass all mankind. Jesus and all his followers were aware of satanic beings that cause all kinds of problems for mankind by whispering in the ear of a person, to fight the other person, or worse. Yet we are also aware of the Holy Spirit, who is in the business of leading us into all truth..it's his job description John 14:15, 26-27. So with this in mind, who do you think God intends for you to bind? satan and his followers who put all kinds of wrong thoughts, words, and deeds, out before a person. The person thinks it is them that is doing all this "thinking" and to them it sounds reasonable if they don't know Christ, so they act on those thoughts that come right from the devils mouth. (how do you know? If it isn't what God would say to you as a believer in him, it has come from satan.James 3:6) As for me, the way I pray on this issue is this: Father, in the name of Jesus, I bind satan, his principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and wicked spirits in high places, from their operations behind the life of........ and according to your word, whatsoever I bind on earth is bound in heaven Matt 16:19 so therefore I thank you that these wicked spirits can no longer operate in the life of my loved one. I ask you to loose the Holy Spirit of God to shine the light of the glorious gospel into their mind to give them guidance and comfort in your way, truth and life (-style) and I give you praise it is done and it is so in the Name of Jesus. II Cor 4:3-4 For God, has commanded the light to shine out of darkness, and he has shined in our hearts (6) to give each of us the light of your word which is your knowledge of your glory in the face of Jesus Christ. Thank you Father, for always hearing and answering my prayers, in the Holy name of Jesus. Amen.. As far as your other questions, I don't have any comment or knowledge of the subjects. May God be the guide in your home for unity and agreement in him, for a bit of heaven on earth.... |
