101 | What about the woman at the well in Jn 4 | John 4:18 | TommyS | 110094 | ||
Ray, your interesting and inspiring imput into the subject tied in nicely with Emmaus'. It provides much great insight. I appreciate your sharing those interesting details. Thank you. Who would have thought that a simple question could have so much insight into the heart and nature of our Lord? Like I asked Emmaus, WHY aren't more preachers sharing this exceptional teaching material with their congregations? Why do so many only teach from that shallow concept of the immoral woman's "trying to change the subject". Although, it has been a few years since I heard it, because we changed churchs. On a side note, after checking my e-mail and seeing nothing new, I opened studybible and there was your posting. Strange - I wonder why yours never "showed" on my e-mail? For that matter, Emmaus' two from last night never did either. TommyS |

Emmaus, I'm not sure WHICH email address is yours. Could you please advise this computer illiterate. :) And, please be patient with my response, because as the week-end quickly approaches, I start "running here and yon". TommyS |

104 | Holy Grail and it's relevance | John 20:29 | TommyS | 99472 | ||
Makarios, good words. When I was reading in John earlier, I read that portion about the graveclothes Jesus wore into the tomb. John 20:7 SEEMS to tell us that that "Shroud of Turin" ISN'T from Jesus. Why else would John "bother" to write "And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself." How could Jesus' "Face" be on the shroud, WHEN His head was wrapped seperatly, is what I figure. Am I on the right track? TommyS |

105 | Baptized in whose name before Matt 28? | Rom 10:9 | TommyS | 102758 | ||
With all this talk about whose name one is suppose to be baptized in, what about all those people who were baptized BEFORE Matthew 28's command? And, in what "name" was Jesus Himself baptized? |

106 | Baptized in whose name before Matt 28? | Rom 10:9 | TommyS | 102819 | ||
Hello, Ray, thanks for offering an answer to my question. I'm sorry, but I failed to word it according to what I desire to learn. Allow my to reprase it, please. In John 4:1-2 it says that "Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John, although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples." This was at the begining of Jesus' ministry, and at the END of His ministry, Matt 28:19, He commanded those same disciples who had been baptizing all along to "Go into all the world, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the "name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." My question meant to be - if the disciples began baptizing a few years before, "IN WHAT NAME, or IN WHOSE NAME - did they do it? Seeing it wasn't until AFTER Jesus'resurrection that "this addition tidbit arrived". Any comments that might help? TommyS |

107 | HELP ME PLEASE...I am not content! | Rom 12:1 | TommyS | 102589 | ||
I spent a lot of time reading through this topic. It has changed coarse from its origin, yet I feel I must write something. Cajam, your obvious frustration, anger, bitterness, and self-righeousness sounds very familiar. Also you denial about the same things your words display those same traits. Did you use to pastor a church in North Dakota? If so, I see you have slipped back into that hideous pit, and you continue to refuse His Holy Spirit opportunity to snatch away those bad habits you apparently allow to keep a firm grip your life. Apparently, you are that "fired pastor", or else you have the same blind spots. If, so, I know you are still in that area, you can ask my uncle to have me call you. We need to have "another talk". If you are NOT that pastor, I apologize. It's just your attempt of a litgitimate argument has the exact same holes as that pastor. He also claimed the Holy Spirit was the only one who could correct him - no matter how wrong he always was too. I'll pray for you, either way. TommyS |

When did many Christian churchs start using juice instead of wine for communion? And why do so many use leavened crackers or bread? | ||||||

Thanks for your response, John15. Sorry it took so long to get back to my orginal question. It dawned on me right after I asked it that I would be gone for an extended holiday over an extra long Thanksgiving. Should have waited. :) I REALLY am curious as to WHEN churchs started using grape juice RATHER than wine during communion. Your comment about "AA members being tempted or excluded", I don't follow. Surely - Paul wasn't thinking of some far-dated, secular organization that refuses to acknowledge the sole power of the only true God. Thanks anyway, TommyS |

John15, thank you for the exhortation Paul gave us in Titus 3:9. I needed to "hear" that. Because of those words, I will simply drop the topic. TommyS |

111 | How "mature" in Christ are we today? | 1 Cor 3:1 | TommyS | 110773 | ||
If those in Cornith were "infants in Christ", and so many Christians today can't "walk" in the truth of 1 Cor 13 (the love chapter), what "stage of growth" would Paul consider us today? | ||||||
112 | How "mature" in Christ are we today? | 1 Cor 3:1 | TommyS | 111073 | ||
Thank you Edb. I too believe we are IN the process. I was wondering "where" in the process do you consider us, spiritually speaking? Are we infants, toddlers, children, teenagers, young adults, middle aged, or fully matured as senior citizens? TommyS |

113 | How "mature" in Christ are we today? | 1 Cor 3:1 | TommyS | 111074 | ||
Thank you, terrib. Your comment "As in all growth and wisdom we each mature at a pace that we are willing" seems to mean that our spiritual growth is "up to us" rather than, as our "physical being" is UP to Him. When I finally became old enough to fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a police officer like my uncle, I was still two inches too short. Then when you wrote that Paul wouldn't be so polite towards us - OUCH! I've been wondering why others seem to be maturing at a faster clip than I am. Just like when I was a kid, some younger ones grew bigger faster. Maybe instead of asking the Lord to increase my faith - I need to exercize the faith I have. Thank you for the exhortation. TommyS |

Edb, your words ring true to my ears. Perhaps that is why I asked the question, because MY ears needed to "hear what the Spirit is saying". Thank you. TommyS |

CDBJ, I got myself distracted last evening after reading your response to my question. I apologize. What caught my attention the MOST of your note, was your comment - "it has to be 100 percent of one or the other. Either filled with the Spirit or controlled by your old sin nature; it can’t be a little of each at any particular moment in a believers life." Like what EdB, and terrib wrote, your words are timely. Thank you for giving so much of your time to help me make better use of mine. TommyS |

Radioman2, sorry ‘bout this, dear friend in Christ Jesus our Lord, but you are wrong in your conclusion, "Muhammad (prophet) (570?-632), founder of Islam" Muhammad lived from approx. 570 AD to 632 AD, approximately 2,400 years after Abraham. Abraham lived from 2100 BC to 1880 BC. So how could Abraham be a Muslim when Islam wasn't even founded until more than 2,000 years after he lived? This is not rocket science. I know 9-year-olds who could figure this one out,” If you WERE to talk to any Muslim, that Muslim would quickly inform you that Adam and Eve, Noah, Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jesus etc. WERE all Muslim. They understand the concept that "Being a Muslim" merely means “one who is submitted to God". So, if any would ask me if Abraham was a Muslim, I would reply, “I honestly believe that Abraham WAS SUBMITTED to God.” For sure we know that Abraham WASN’T a Christian, correct? As a matter of fact, anyone who works in the “Muslim world”, be it here in the States, or abroad, would hardly ever “confess to being a Christian”. A follower of the teachings of Isa, (Jesus), might, for instance, hold up the Scriptures and merely state, “I obey what this says, as the Koran instructs everyone should. Do you obey it too?” “Christians” are who slaughtered Muslims during the crusades. America is a “Christian nation” and their soap operas are about American families, so that means that “Christian families” mess around, drink, lie, cheat, etc. etc. Besides, non-believers first used the term “Christian” to separate themselves from believers. Because Christian means “small Christ” – and one can’t be one without being submitted to God (Muslim), and both conger up “false conceptions”, why use either label? Why not merely live our lives so others can see and believe? I appreciate reading through some of the threads in which you have made some profound, spirit inspired comments. Thank you. TommyS Speaking of "dumb questions" - I once asked an wrinkled old man sitting on his rocker on a porch in front of a small town cafe, "Have you lived in this town all your life?" He removed his pipe from his toothless mouth and replied, "Not yet." |
