I Corinthians 11:3--"But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and GOD IS THE HEAD OF CHRIST." Luke 22:42--saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; YET NOT MY WILL BUT YOURS BE DONE." Collosians 2:9--"For in Him(Jesus Christ) ALL the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form," Matthew 16:15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Matthew 16:16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the SON of the living God." Matthew 16:17 And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but MY FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN..." [all emphases mine] Thus is the mystery of the Trinity. Why many people wonder how 3 can be 1, and 1 be 3. I don't have quite the extensive background as some of the more learned people on this forum, but here's a start: Jesus IS, WAS and will ALWAYS BE one with God(John 1:1). However, Jesus the Son does the will of God the Father. The best way I know how to say it is this: They are one in majesty and sovereignty; however, God is the head of all. Like I said, it's a start. And perhaps someone else can futher expound on this. May the blessings of the LORD thy God be with you always. 2nd Samuel 22 |

103 | MIXED MARRIAGES ? | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 49511 | ||
Greetings fellow believers!! Let us not forget, that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was descended from a mixed marriage: Boaz(Jew) and Ruth(Moabitess). They begat Jesse, who begat Obed, who begat David. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek,...for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise. Once we take on the identity of Christ, then this earthsuit we wear doesn't mean a thing, because we are not going to be wearing it when we get to heaven. Glory to God forever!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

104 | Is God responsible for evil? | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 49275 | ||
Greetings, fellow believers!! I haven't gone through this whole thread to see if this has been mentioned, but there is a verse in Proverbs which speaks to this question: Proverbs 16:4--"The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil." May God bless you and keep you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

105 | is homosexuality a sin? | Rom 1:27 | 2ndSamuel22 | 49274 | ||
Greetings, wildlight! Here are just a few verses which prove that homosexuality is unbiblical, in fact an abomination: Lev. 18:22--"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."(KJV) Lev. 20:13--"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination..."(KJV) I Cor. 6:--"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor EFFEMINATE, nor HOMOSEXUALS,...will inherit the kingdom of God."(NASB)--[all emphasis mine] I hope this helps! 2nd Samuel 22 |

107 | Come as you are | Bible general Archive 1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 48632 | ||
Greetings, fellow believers!! Just thought I'd add my 1 1/2 cents worth..:) Should we show up looking respectable? Of course. But we should not look unkindly upon someone who does not enter into God's house all gussied up. Consider the following passages: 1) James 2:2-3. "For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes, and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes, and say, "You sit here in a good place," and you say to the poor man, "You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool," have you not made distinctions among yourselves,..." 2) The woman in Luke chapter 7(vv.37-50), who washed Jesus' feet with her tears. She was in the presence of Christ himself, more than likely in less-than-stellar apparel. But He did not tell her to change into something more presentable. His only words to her were,"Thy sins are forgiven" and,"Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace." We should always be mindful of showing modesty in our respective house of worship. But we should also not give more respect to the man in goodly apparel, and less to the man in dirty clothes. We should all be welcome. After all, it's His house, not ours..:) May God give strength to all. 2nd Samuel 22:31-33 |

108 | Did God created people before Adam | Gen 1:1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 48442 | ||
Greetings, Berean!! Interesting questions..:) Concerning Genesis 2:19, the verse starts out, "Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them;...". So yes, I believe He formed them from the ground in front of Adam. As far as the fish, maybe He had each one do a flip out of the water, and hung them in midair. Just a thought. May God bless you and keep you 2nd Samuel 22:3-4 |

109 | Can I request for cassettes from tithes | OT general | 2ndSamuel22 | 48441 | ||
Greetings, inmyheart! First of all, let me just say that I am NOT implying that Benny Hinn is the Antichrist, or even the false prophet. And as far as his faith, and love of God, I will not question those, for it is not my place(Mat.7:1-2). And yes, ONLY God heals, on His time. Nobody gets slapped on the head and jumps up out of a wheelchair. But through faith and prayer, He will heal. That said, I will make this point: Some people think as long as the Gospel is heard, that is enough, no matter how it is presented. Mostly, they base this thought on Philippians 1:18--"What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,". What Paul talks about here, in a nutshell, is those who preach for the money. So long as the TRUTH is being preached, we need not look to the person's motives. We need to remember, however, what he says, about those who pervert the Word, in Romans 16:18--"For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting." In other words, teaching false doctrine(such as baptism for the dead[see I Cor15:29]). Now, the point in preaching is not only to speak the word of God, but to teach those listening what it means, as it says in Ephesians 4:12--"for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ;". If a pastor sends his people out without properly equipping them, then when they are questioned on what they believe(I Peter 3:15), and they do not have the true knowledge of the Word, then the Body suffers. I know this may be a bit long-winded, but I wanted to make my point as thoroughly as possible. And neither do I wish to cause dissension, remembering that our salvation lies not in doctrine, but in Grace, and Faith. May God bless you and keep you. 2nd Samuel 22:3-4 |

Hank and Jawz--Amen I don't know if anyone has ever heard of a group called the "Sacred Name Movement", or "House of Yahweh". They believe that if we do not refer to God and Jesus by their Hebrew names(Yahweh and Ya'shua), then we are condemned. Some people just seem to derive pleasure from making people question their salvation. May God bless you and keep you 2nd Samuel 22 |

111 | Did God created people before Adam | Gen 1:1 | 2ndSamuel22 | 48187 | ||
Greetings fellow believers!! I once heard a fellow by the name of Kent Hovind describe this subject thusly: God did create the animals first, then Adam, in chapter one. In chapter two, when God commanded Adam to give a name to all the animals, He created one of each in Adam's presence. He did this for this reason: If I show you a building and say,"I made that" you MIGHT believe me. But, if I build that building before your eyes, you WOULD believe me. Thus, God showed Adam His power. 2nd Samuel 22 |

"...but I'd be leery of Benny Hinn and company." I would totally agree with that, Norrie. I wouldn't trust Benny Hinn further than I could throw him. For example, he has said before that there are NINE in the Godhead, saying that there are three in God, three in Jesus, and three in the Holy Ghost. Of course, when questioned about this later, Hinn claimed that he never said it. That's just one example. Some people claim to have been healed by Hinn, and even if that is true, that doesn't validate his claim to be a man of God. After all, Revelations says the false prophet of Antichrist will perform signs and wonders--"And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live."(Rev.13:14) 2nd Samuel 22:29 |

113 | what is baptism of the dead 1 cor 15:29 | 1 Corinthians | 2ndSamuel22 | 47941 | ||
Paul here is asking the Corinthians this question: If Jesus was not resurrected, but was still dead, then why are so many being baptized in His name(v.29)? And why do so many suffer persecution, some even unto death, for a dead man(v.30) The KJV and the NKJV both end v.29 with,"...baptized for THE DEAD" instead of,"...baptized for THEM"[all emphasis mine], because the "dead" that Paul is refering to is Jesus, not a group of people. One can not be baptized for the dead, as the Mormons believe. They have based a large portion of their religion on this one verse. But I digress. I hope that clears things up for you. 2nd samuel 22:36-37 |

114 | compare Genesis with Deuteronomy | OT general | 2ndSamuel22 | 47889 | ||
Simeon's name is missing. Charles Ryrie and Matthew Henry put it this way: In the Septuagint, Simeon is included at the end of v.6, since his portion was within the border of Judah(see Joshua 19:9, then reference back to Gen.49:5-7). That is the only answer I can come up with right now; maybe someone else can assist. May God bless you and keep you. 2nd Samuel 22:36-37 |

Romans 16:17--"Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them." Dear Aggie, I would like to ask you a couple of questions about your new preacher: 1) Has he mentioned specifically where any errors exist? If so, where? 2) Which translation does he use? If it's the NIV, I would question his claims. I don't mean to sound "King James Only", but I have not read one valid defense of the NIV, however, other than "it's easier to read." I have not seen one plausible explanation for the many omissions, such as leaving out "which art in heaven" from Luke 11. Or why there is no mention of the Trinity. There are more, too many to post here. My dear sister in Christ, before you question your salvation, ask yourself these questions: --Do I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that He walked the earth in human form?(Romans 1:3) --Do I believe that He died on the cross for my sins(John 3:16), and was risen again on the third day?(Romans 10:9) --Do I believe that Jesus ALONE is my redeemer, and that He is of the Holy Trinity of the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost?(1 John 5:7) If you answered "yes" to all these questions, then you ARE saved. the bible translation you use will not keep you out of God's heavenly kingdom, anymore than it would get you in. If you are more comfortable with the King James, then that is the one you should use. It's the one I grew up on, and I understood it quite well, even at 8 yrs old. In closing, always remember "That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God"(I Cor.2:5), and"the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power."(I Cor.4:20) May God bless you and keep you 2nd Samuel 22:36-37 |

116 | Should women be teaching in churches? | 1 Tim 2:12 | 2ndSamuel22 | 47760 | ||
Greetings fellow believers!! One question I've had about this verse: Why does Paul personalize it? Why does he say,"I do not allow...", instead of,"do not allow?" There are instances in the epistles where Paul writes his opinion(I Cor.7:12--"But to the rest speak I, not the Lord..."), while the rest of the time he writes as if being commanded, and in my opinion, that is what he is doing here. The way I see it: 1) If no man can "show himself approved"(2Tim 2:15), but a woman can, do you think God would want her to hold her tongue, and not teach His Word? Did not GOD'S OWN PEOPLE(Israel) go up to Deborah to be judged? Did He not allow her to lead Barak into battle, since he would not go without her?(Judges ch.4 and 5) 2) If a MAN puts a woman in the position of pastor, can you truly say she "usurped" her authority? Look at it this way: If a female police officer pulls you over, would you question her authority?(I Peter 2:13) I realize a pastor and a deputy are two different professions, but think about it: they are both a form of authority, both positions created by God(Romans 13:1-2). So, if a presiding bishop appoints a woman to pastor, and since both offices are appointed by God, do we not then need to respect that decision? Any comments? I submit this respectfully, and as opinion, and not to create strife. 2nd Samuel 22:36-37 |

117 | Who'd Be In Charge? | Gen 24:5 | 2ndSamuel22 | 47574 | ||
Greetings Lionstrong! I misinterpreted your original question, and I apologize. According to John MacArthur and Matthew Henry, Isaac would be in charge. Elieazer was Abraham's steward, and would have been entitled to inherit his estate--were it not for the son, Isaac. Also, according to Mr. Henry, Eliezer was to act as a proxy for Isaac, in order to ensure that Isaac would not fall into the sins of the Canaanites. I hope I understood you this time, if not, hand me the mental floss..:-) 2nd Samuel 22:36-37 |
||||||
118 | Who'd Be In Charge? | Gen 24:5 | 2ndSamuel22 | 47481 | ||
Greetings, Lionstrong. The issue is not whether Isaac was ready to take charge, but where Abraham did not want Isaac to go. Remember, God called Abraham out of Ur of the Chaldees("...the land from which you came", v.5), an area much like Canaan in that it was filled with sin. Therefore, Abraham did not want his son to take a wife from there(Gen.24:3), and made his servant swear an oath by God(v.2-3, v.9) to this effect. Many Old Testament passages are much different than those in the New Testament, in that the OT is made up chiefly of historical accounts, which cannot always be analyzed one verse at a time like the NT. I hope I have been able to help. He Will 2nd Samuel 22:26-28 |

119 | Is Jesus the merchant... ... | Matt 13:45 | 2ndSamuel22 | 47256 | ||
Greetings, Rivertree. I hope I can be of help. Read on to v.46. I believe Jesus is the pearl, and we are the merchants. The KJV says in v.45, "the kingdom of heaven is like UNTO a merchant man seeking goodly pearls"[emphasis mine], meaning the merchant is seeking goodly pearls, and finds one, that being the kingdom of heaven. When we find the pearl, Jesus(or, when God lays upon us the spirit of conviction, and we turn to Him), we find the kingdom of heaven. We then sell all we have(in other words, we give up all our worldly ways), and receive Him. That's how I read it. He will 2nd Samuel 22:26-28 |

120 | Romans 10:9: is it too simple? | Rom 10:9 | 2ndSamuel22 | 47255 | ||
Hosanna in the highest!! Simplicity--that is exactly what Jesus preached. All the times He rebuked the Pharisees, He was speaking directly at the complexity(ies) which they had added to the scriptures. That is what He meant when He said in Mark 10:15, " Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein." In other words, salvation is so simple, even a child could understand it. And we should accept our salvation with the simple love of a child. Another verse which speaks to this is 2 Cor. 11:3--"But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the SIMPLICITY that is in Christ."[emphasis mine] Compare our means of salvation to the many sacrifices the Jews had to offer in the old testament.
