1 Corinthians 7:25-40 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you. But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not; And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away. But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry. Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better. The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God. Hello Gab, take a look at these scritpures and think about what Paul is saying. Imagine the life of godliness Paul is suggesting. The best think you could do is to continue to devote yourself to the Lord. Pray, study the word and get involved in ministry in your church. If your church does not have an outreach ministry of somekind find an outreach ministry nearby that needs volunteers and help out. As you are busy doing the work of God, witnessing the Gospel, telling people what great things God has done for you in Jesus Christ you will learn many things. One of the things that you will soon be very clear on is that your main goal in life is to serve and please the Lord, everything else comes second including romance. If you love this girl in the Lord you will point her to the same life of adventure, serving God and enjoying eternal things. She will find such a thing attractive if there is any hope at all. If not then don't look back follow hard after Jesus Christ and forsake all from Him. After all that is the only way to be a true christian. Matthew 10:37-38 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. Luke 9:61-62 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. You must remain loving and kind and reach out to her in love as you would any other lost sinner or backslider, but you must follow the Lord. As you are involved in outreach and doing the work of the Lord, living life on the "cutting edge" of the kingdom and not getting bogged down in "false christian religion" then you will find that you are ministering alongside sisters in the Lord that share a like passion for the Lord Jesus Christ with you. First you will be friends treating them as sisters only with all purity, but as God wills it there will be one that he will put you with that will be that person that will serve the Lord with you in Life, where you will both have a passion for serving God and not be a drain on each other like the way Paul speaks about. It is very important to make sure you are very patient allowing God to give you the wife that will not backslide on you or loose her passion for the Lord a year after you are married. That is why meeting her in the work of outreach is so helpful. The kind of wife you want is one that has the same passion for Christ that you have and just going to church does not really tell you much. The one that is burning with the fire of the Holy Spirit is one who is serving the Lord in ministry. God bless you as you seek His Face Daily. |

102 | What could I possiblt do that's greater? | John 14:12 | Scribe | 85967 | ||
Good answer. I think the logic applies to both the number saved and the number healed. Because the Holy Spirit was poured out on all and all prophesied,(acts 2) fulfilling the prophesy of Moses Numbers 11:29 I would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them! So as they go forth and witness Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. And as all the believers went forth and do go forth today... Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; Mark 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. It is true that many more are saved, baptised in the Holy Spirit, speak in tongues, healed, lay hands on the sick, cast out devils and even raise the dead, all over the world and not just in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord His Gospel is going forth and many are having their lives changed and made white and purified in these last days. |

Part 2 of 2 Now taking the Bible on the subject the Lutheran Pastors I have contact with, are false teachers, because the give their congregation who are immoral and not born again the false sense of security that they are saved. Joyce on the other hand teaches a strong message of holiness and accountability. As stated I have never heard her teach on the descension but hear her call people to a deeper walk with God in every message. So who is the false teacher according to the Bible, the Lutheran pastor that teaches that the member of his congregation that commits adultery will still go to heaven at their funeral, (yes I have heard this) or Joyce who would say if they did not repent in sincerity in truth they went to hell. I think Joyce is in line with scripture on salvation and the doctrine of salvation by faith over every Lutheran I have met so far. Why am I picking on Lutherans, I am not, I am addressing the doctrine of the pastor that is claiming he is an authority on doctrine and Joyce is not and that he wants to paint her as a false prophet. Biblically she does not qualify but the Lutherans I know of do. Let’s stick to what the scripture says about a wandering star and a false teacher and then see who fits the pattern. If you are honest you have to agree that the pattern is that the bible teaches that the false teacher teaches that you can commit fornication, or that the grace of God allows you to commit lasciviousness., etc. So we say we want to be biblical but few us really do it. Instead we run around calling someone a false prophet because we don’t agree with them. Just say you think she is wrong, instead of calling it false doctrine. Or be biblical and Berean like you claim and use scripture that says a false teacher teaches that doctrine that you are saying she is teaching. You do not have the right to call someone a false teacher unless the bible says that they who teach that are false teachers. I have heard Lutherans say someone who died an unrepentant adulterer is in heaven So I can say according to the scriptures that that Lutheran pastor was a false prophet.. or teachers. Because he taught that the person could have his lasciviousness excused because of the Grace of God, though it was a false teaching and not the true Grace of God which teaches… Titus 2:11-12 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; I would end my posts concerning this thread with the reminder that I am sure there are saved born again Lutherans as there are in other denominations world wide and God knows whose are his and let every man that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. This post is not about Lutheran bashing but how that if this Lutheran pastor thinks he has biblical authority to call Joyce a false prophet I have more biblical authority to accuse the Lutheran doctrine of such and mine is more inline with what the scripture describes as a false teacher. |

Part 1 of 2 I did a study on false teachers in the New Testament and I noticed that of the many verses on it most of them have a clear reference to teaching immorality, or that one can indulge in the flesh and still go to heaven. My wife grew up in the Lutheran church. My wife is well versed in scripture today. When she was born again, she could not find anyone in her church that had a clue what she was talking about. That speaks volumes about the “doctrine” going forth from that pulpit at least. But I have found her experience not uncommon to Lutheran churches in my area. She will also testify that the teaching there did suggest that the members who were committing adultery and other obvious sins would still go to heaven because they were baptized in the Lutheran church and a few other things they had “checked off” of what was required. But for the most part even if you asked those that kept the Lutheran rules and quoted the right sayings, if you asked them if they died right now if they would go to heaven, they could not answer in the affirmative with confidence but gave the same answers you get from anyone on the street, “I hope so” or “no one can be sure can they” This condition of the typical Lutheran Congregation speaks volumes about the doctrine of their pulpits. Now if this pastor can say that Joyce is a wandering star, quoting Jude of which wandering stars mentioned there are reserved for everlasting damnation, and if the reason he is so sure of her being a false teacher has to do with doctrine then let us look at what the scripture says about false teachers. If we are going to be like the Bereans and search the scriptures whether these things be so, let us search the scriptures on false teachers, not one of them mentions that if a teacher thinks that Jesus had to suffer in hell he is a false teacher. I don’t agree with that idea, I do not know what happened when Jesus desceneded and I think if the bible is silent about it we should be also, but nevertheless that is not the example the new testament gives as to what is a false teacher. And furthermore the New Testament does not leave it up to us to guess what is a false teacher. By the sound of most that accuse others of being false teachers in the Christian church they sound like they are saying if you do not agree with me on a doctrine you are a teacher of false doctrine. But thanks be to God he gives us plenty of detailed examples of what is a false teaching, I am going to post only a few to give an idea…. Revelation 2:14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. Revelation 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! And the wandering stars Jude spoke of? What did they teach? Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. There are many many more, do a search and you will see there is a pattern. The false teacher that we have a biblical right to call a false teacher is not one that disagrees with our denomination on baptism or what happened to Jesus when he descended, but who teaches you can indulge in the flesh and still go to heaven.

I dont agree with many things Faith Teachers have taught, but his view on what faith is does not make him a false prophet. You are going to have to go back to the scriptures and read about false teachers and false prophets, then compare this teaching about Copelands view on faith and you will see it is not one of the scriptural examples of what makes a false prophet. (and I don't listen to Copeland or Joyce) I listen to Joyse when she is on my radio going to work because I only listen to christian radio and no other station. But I don't seek her out. I find their teachings quite boring for me. I am sure that others get something out of it, but to me they are very basic. |

I am simply saying that I have been around those that enjoy the teaching of Joyce Meyers, I know many of them, I have seen their daily lives, all of the ones I know of live holy lives and are full of the fruits of being saved, Love, joy, peace, holiness, purity etc. I have also been around many Lutherans as this writer that declares Joyce to be a false teacher teaching doctrines of demons.. Of all the Lutherans that I have been around, none of them were born again, none of them ever read the bible or had a clue what real doctrine was, whether it related to the descension of Christ into the lower parts of the earth or any other doctrine. ( I am sure there are Lutherans that do know doctrine but the ones I know do not) So it is not fair for me to paint with a broad brush all Lutherans just becuase all the one I know are dead in their sins going through the motions of church attendance but little else, neither is it fair to call Joyce a false teacher because she taught that certain things probably occurred during that time that she has now recanted. I look more at the fruit of peoples lives to tell if their doctrine is correct. May God bless you as you study His word. | ||||||

I think that is pretty goofy preaching, but it is still not damnable heresy. It is not saying that we must be saved by works, or saying that Jesus sacrifice on the cross was not sufficient, he is just adding more details about what he thinks the descending into hell meant. I don't agree with the teaching, but it is hard to call it a doctrine of demons. I think saying that someone has to be trained in systematic theology and apologetics to be a good preacher is more in the area of doctrines of demons. That sort of teaching suggests that Timothy who was mentored by paul not nor formally trained in the type of modern seminary the writer is suggesting was not a good preacher. I think that is more a violation of the scriptures than what he is accuseing Kenneth Copeland of. Why.. Because we do not really know what happened when Jesus descended into hell. We know he went because David prophesied it and Peter repeated it in Acts 2. We don't know what happened, so I can't really 100 percent say. But I can say that to suggest that a preacher called of God has to be formally trained in theology and apologetics and the art of hermenuetics is not going to be able to teach sound doctrine is a direct contradiction to several known scriptures that say otherwise. Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. 1 Corinthians 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 1 Corinthians 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: |

111 | Face Value or Not | Gen 1:1 | Scribe | 85893 | ||
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. They can be taken for face value. As long as we are speaking of the face of the looking glass of scripture and not our own definitions of the words. If we define "keep silence" as the other "keep silence" that has been mentioned just a few verses before concerning men, we understand it means, don't talk when you should not be, not don't talk becuase you are a woman. It has to do with disruption of the service. Not saying anything about the details we do not know about but only sticking to the text itself we have Paul saying to those that speak in tongues to do it two or three in a service and then only if there is an interpreter, if not "KEEP SILENT" in the church and let him speak to himself and to God, then we have Paul saying to those that would give a prophesy.. do so two or three and if one is speaking the other should "KEEP SILENT" then he gets to the women who would ask questions and they are told to "KEEP SILENT" and if the reader is following the flow and logic of the admonition he immediatly understands that it must refer to some type of "confusion" or interuption that was being caused by the asking of questions. Then we understand that the spirit an theology of the rest of the new testament does not "jell" with a rule that would suggest that as soon as women walk in the church they must not utter a sound until they leave does it? Of course not, so we know that it must be about interuptions and confusion which is what the whole chapter deals with. May God Bless You as You Look into the Face of the Mirror of the Word and are Changed Day by Day. |

Part 2 of 2 Daniel 11:31-35 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Revelation 13:4-8 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. There are many others and too many for me to post. Taking into consideration that the readers of Johns letters were well aware of the doctrine of the coming wicked prince John is simply reminding them that even though there is an antichrist that will come, even now there are many antichrist of which they needed to be on their guard against. And by stating what they taught he gives us divine insight into what the Antichrist to come will teach. It appears that the main underlying hallmark will be a denial of Jesus Christ as God in the Flesh. |

114 | Will we be here once anti-Christ appears | 1 John 2:18 | Scribe | 85873 | ||
Part 1 of 2 1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. If John were the only one that had ever mentioned the antichrist then these scriptures would be sufficient for telling the whole story. Since that is not the case you have to look at them all to understand. John did not say they were wrong for believing a long established doctrine from the prophets of a coming antichrist, but simply reminded them that the doctrine that this antichrist would teach was even now being taught by many antichrists. John is simply reminding them that this stratedgy of satan (which will give his authority to the antichrist) is what is behind these false teachers. John never says.. "you are wrong for thinking there is a one antichrist.. I tell you there are many" but that is the way people keep quoting him. He says, "ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists;" that is not a contradiction of the doctrine that One particular Antichrist will come. This doctrine that John knew they were familiar with is in many prophets. They grew up understanding it. Only they called it The Wicked Prince and names like The Man of Sin. It is in Ezek and Dan and also in other prophets. Daniel says much about him. Paul spoke of it as something the Thessalonians already knew about and reminded them that the falling away associated with the Man of Sin and the revelation of the Man of Sin (That Wicked) was something that we can mark as the sign that we have entered into the day of the Lord that final outpouring of judgements. We are in the last days and as a result there are many antichrist teaching that Jesus is not God in the flesh, but the final Day of the Lord has not began yet and we will know that it is upon us if the man of sin is revealed standing in the holy place, the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the Prophet. The book of Revelation goes into great detail about the Antichrist and does not spiritualize him as many but as one man. They began calling the prophecy of the man of sin or wicked prince the antichrist becuase they had more revelation after learning Christ that this man of sin would attempt to oppose the Second Coming. Ezekiel 21:25-27 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him. Mark 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: (continue on next post) |

Interesting, I am in agreement with the statement that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I was a sinner, but now I am saved. Paul knew he was forgiven and made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. This message is not obsolete but a very present truth. If this is the best this writer can do to try and paint Joyce as a false prophet he is not doing a good job. As a matter of fact I am finding more fault with the few statements of the writer than with Joyce. "'Like others in the Word-Faith camp who are uneducated, untrained and unskilled in doctrine and systematic theology" What constitutes "educated, trained and skilled in doctrine and systematic theology?" Fishermen? or those that attend the Univiersities of the writers liking? If the authors of the doctrine were untrained, unskilled, and uneducated, then we have no right to demand such from the readers or preachers. The bereans searched the scriptures to see if these things were so. I recommend the writer of the article do the same. 1 Corinthians 6:10-11 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 1 Timothy 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. All Joyce is saying, is that we are all sinners in the sense that we have all sinned, but if you are born again and a partaker of the divine nature you have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lusts, God does not look at you as a sinner but as Cleansed by the Blood of Christ and God calls you the righteousness of God in Christ. If God says that about me, who am I to argue against God and call myself a miserable sinner. Yes I was, and at times I feel like I still am, but I am not, I am a new man in Christ, born again and forgiven, my sins are removed as far as the east is from the west and Most born again saints do believe this. So if the writer thinks that those that dare call themselves the righteousness of God in Christ are false teachers, then he has condemned the whole church as I know it. This type of rhetoric, comparing Joyce with the false prophets of Zech 13 is as extreme as any extremism he accuses Joyce of. And so he will be judged with the same judgement he dishes out. His lack of grace toward a fellow saint only prooves his sainthood is questionable. His interpretation of what Joyce meant is in error. I have heard her preach many times that her teaching or any other teaching of man is not divinely inspired as the Word is. This writer is simply leaping on a poor choice of words to try and say Joyce is meaning something beyond what she said. This writer is Lutheran? My wife grew up in a Lutheran church, not trying to say they are all alike but the one where she grew up, she never knew anyone that was saved. When she was born again she had to leave the Lutheran Church. In the church she attended the Sunday School teacher taught teen girls it was ok to get abortions. I can get an idea why this pastor might be so surprised by this teaching. The church my wife went to knew nothing about being born again. They were sinners alright. Just as much as anyone else. They liked keeping their faith private and they did a good job, as far as she could tell they did not have any. I have hung around with Lutherans,and I have hung around with saints that attend Joyce Meyer's meetings. Give me the Joyce fans anyday, they are definitly saved and on the way to heaven. I could not see any fruit of that in the Lutheran Church. Don't be offended by my statements, they are simply the observation of one Lutheran Church (or a few others I have come in contact with in my life) I am sure there are some out there that are different. And my point is simply that I can find much more doctrinal error in the Lutheran Churches I came in contact with than in Meyer's. How about the Lutheran Pastor that tells a grieving couple he will not bury their baby because the baby was not baptized? Let us use righteous judgement and walk in Love. Someone asked about modern Pharisees or Scribes who are guilty of the error Jesus warned us against, I think it is these type of debate mongers, and cult watchers that fit the description. They strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. |

This is not a contradtiction. Genesis 46:26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six; [Here he lists 66 that came into Egypt becuase Judah was sent before him] Genesis 46:28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen. Genesis 46:27 Genesis 46:27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten. Exodus 1:1-5 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already. So the seventy are not including Joseph and family which were in Egypt already. Joseph his wife, his two sons make 74.. I still do not have 75 but maybe I missed something like Judah who went before? Not sure, I will have to rework it later. It is there, there are no contradictions in scripture and not mistakes, only mistakes are with the readers. :) |

Romans 2:14-15 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) First of all the Lord knows whether a man really "knew it" or not because he knows the deepest parts, that part of the conscience and will of man and how that person did indeed sin against that knowledge. The scripture in Romans is a scripture that applies to all gentiles including the poor native in the jungle. He knows by instinct what is right and wrong. And when he has violated that conscience he has sinned. The fact that he has not heard about Jesus simply means he has not heard about the details of how God provided a remedy for sin. All natives in all jungles have violated their conscience at least once and have chosen to do what they knew was wrong.. therefore as it relates to their rightstanding with God on the basis of whether they have kept the inner moral instinct that they knew, their conscience will convict them as law breakers. Let me repeat ... their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another..In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. In that day what will their conscience do Excuse them or Accuse them? Without fail it will Accuse them. For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. Now lets answer the question, "What if said jungle native realizes he is guilty of not being true to the inward knowledge of what is right and decides to spend the rest of his days seeking to do well." Now he has not heard of Jesus, but it is certainly the Spirit of Christ that has motivated him to do right. The man seeks to make restitution, for wrongs done. He is not necessarily trying to make himself acceptible before God, he is simply feeling bad about that which he did to his neighbor that he wants to try and make right somehow. So he goes to the neighbor and pays him 3 monkeys trying to ask forgiveness. He will find as a result of this sincere desire to do right that his conscience is quickened a little, and light or illumination will be granted him. The more he seeks to do right and with the knowledge he has, seek justice, such as take up for the abused around him, he will recieve more light. Soon God will direct the man to a village or something where as if by "accident" he will come upon a missionary who will point him in the way of Christ. Or such a man might even recieve a dream by God telling him what to do whereby he must be saved. Acts 10:2-6 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway. He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do. There are many many scriptures that teach us that those that seek to do well will certainly be given the understanding of Faith and will be saved. They will not be saved because they do well, but their desire to do well will bring them into the light and will allow them to hear. Those that choose to do evil will be driven to darkness and their rebelion against their conscience will cause their conscience to eventually be seared so that they cannot hear. The fact that many jungle native, refuse to seek to do what their conscience tells them they ought to do, does not make them innocent but rather guilty. |

118 | Was she suppose to tell? | Num 23:19 | Scribe | 85856 | ||
As you read through the Gospels you will notice this type of thing occurs often where Jesus tells someone to tell no one who He is. This seems confusing to first time readers because they do not understand the explanation he gives for why. He does give the explanation as "my hour is not yet come" What does this mean? Jesus was careful to not draw attention to himself, he even told many not to tell others that he was the Christ, not because he wasn't as some cults might try to say, but becuase ultimatly he would be crucified for mankind (his hour) and he did not want it to be said that any of the things that he would do that would fulfil all prophesy were contrived in anyway. If he was trying to push himself forward and assume the role of the promised messaih (as many had done before him) he would have done what they did and what his brothers told him to do, reveal himself to all and make these public proclaimations. But instead he is seen taking a more secluded role and so in the end it demonstrates that it is God that was in control and no man could say that Jesus tried to fit his life into prophesy but instead all that was fulfilled in Him was truly the prophetic fulfillment. |

119 | Not possible | Gen 4:22 | Scribe | 85846 | ||
I am not following you. It is evident in archaelogical findings that "metal" was worked with before 1500BC. Maybe the use of the word Forged is causing a misunderstanding. I believe that there are more than enough findings of metal that was heated and worked with or beaten into shapes before 1500BC. I don't think you can read more into the word Forged than is there. If we have an idea of such a word being a particular type of system of working with metal that was perfected later, that is not a proper definition of the word forged. The exact methods of how he worked with metal are not give, this word simply means he worked metal into useful things. |

120 | Please explain this verse? | Mark 9:1 | Scribe | 85844 | ||
Mark 9:1-3 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. 2 Peter 1:16-18 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. Peter says that he saw the Glory and Majesty of the Coming of the Lord in Power when he saw Him transfigured on the holy mount. So we know from that, that Jesus was saying that the some of them was Peter James and John. They saw in the transfiguration and type of what we all will partake of when we are changed in a twinkling and are glorified and rise and meet the Lord in the air when Jesus comes again. |
