101 | What is the meaning of unleavened bread? | Ex 12:1 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122385 | ||
Unleaven bread is a symbol for sin. 1 Corinthians 5:6-8, "Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth." Unleaven bread goes back to the first Passover meal (Exodus 12). The Hebrews were told to "eat it in haste" (the lamb, bread, and herbs). Naturally, it takes time for bread to rise with yeast (leaven) as an ingredient. The leaven symbolizes sin as a hinderance to being "passed over" from the judgment of God. They were to eat "with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand" (verse 11). This signifies being prepared to move instantly on the word of God. WalkingTalkingBible |

102 | can a baby sin | Bible general Archive 2 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122378 | ||
In addition to the verses Norm has given, I'll give James 4:17 again. A baby sins, but is not accountable because he is incapable of knowing right from wrong. Someone who knows to do right is accountable. Babies have to be taught and disciplined to know right from wrong. Just like when one is newly converted, or born again, he has to be taught, trained, chastised to know how to live according to the word of God. However, just because one doesn't know it is sin doesn't take away from the fact that it is sin. WalkingTalkingBible |

104 | Spirit/spirit?Is Spirit given or spirit? | NT general Archive 1 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122332 | ||
Hi, Ray! Acts 8:18 - 19 would be "Spirit," because it talks about the Holy Ghost Himself 1 Timothy 4:14 and (I assume you meant) 2 Timothy 1:6 would be "spiritual gift" because those speak of something from God The Holy Spirit (God Himself) is a gift - Acts 2:38 spiritual gifts are from the Spirit (God) - 1 Corinthians 12 God is a Spirit (John 4:24) and He is holy, but when describing Him as being holy and a spirit, it would be Holy Spirit. (I almost confused myself!) WalkingTalkingBible |

105 | Only for the early Church? | NT general Archive 1 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122328 | ||
Hi, Rowdy! My position, my point, my question is, How has the Holy Ghost changed? Why is it now believed that only the early Church was empowered by the Holy Ghost to work miracles and have spiritual gifts? "I am the Lord, I change not." - Malachi 3:6a Yes, I know many (one very personally) who God uses to heal, cast out, speak and interpret tongues, whatever means of deliverance the soul needs according to the leadership of the Holy Ghost. I don't know what "sherking" means and I am aware that there are many false teachers, but God is living! Is it because the Holy Ghost is not actually dwelling within, as some claim? It seems that if the we all had the Holy Ghost we would be all with one accord (granted there are different levels of faith). We would have the same concerns and compassion for others as God has. It takes more, for some souls, than giving them a word and telling them you'll pray for them. It takes more than a ministry that tells people what they should do, it takes deliverance and if the Holy Ghost dwells within, then the power needed is there. Maybe you're thinking of the TV evangelists that put on a big show, healing and doing whatever. I'm talking about bringing souls to Christ and helping them be delivered from strongholds and curses that they were bound to as unbelievers and wrestle with as believers. Tim Moran has given you some great points in his posts. I know, personally, that God doesn't live in us so we can sit back and do nothing in the lives of others. I, personally, get my hands dirty. I know that without God, I am nothing, but I can do all things through Christ, Who strengthens me! Like Tim stated earlier, people are doing things their way - programs and stuff. But the true Church will do things God's way! I've concluded, from some of the posts of other forum participants concerning miracles, signs and wonders, that: 1) they think little of God OR 2) they think He's different from the God of the early Church OR 3) they don't know God Many know what the Word says literally, but don't KNOW the Word. I'm concerned because the devil knows what the Word says but he will not put It into action! "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost" 2 Corinthians 4:3 WalkingTalkingBible |

107 | Only for the early Church? | NT general Archive 1 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122265 | ||
Hi, Rowdy, how is the Holy Ghost different in the apostles as in other believers? "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." - John 14:12 There's only one way to get power from God and that is to have Him living on the inside and totally yield to Him. Humans don't have power, all power comes from God (Matthew 28:18). Even the apostles were powerless until they were filled with the Holy Ghost. Faith moves God, period, and without faith, it is impossible to please God. Who can God use today to work miracles and do as Jesus did? True believers who are willing to believe and be used by God. God doesn't discriminate, He doesn't have favorites. He loves us all and whoever is willing to do His will are the ones He'll use. There's nothing new under the sun, the same issues then, we have them now. People are in need of deliverance, but there are too many professing that will sit back and say, "I'll pray for you" or quote some Scriptures instead of getting their hands dirty and leading these souls to Christ. There are many souls who we come in contact with: oppressed , depressed, sick, and tormented; the Holy Ghost is much too powerful and loving to only give these people the Word. God knows that it takes more than giving the Word and praying for some, that's why He promised to live in believers. Anyone can quote some Scriptures - even satan knows the Word of God. When was the last time he layed hands on someone to heal them? Probably the same time some of the professing only s-aints. It's sad how today's religion and intellectual theologists have put God "in a box." All of a sudden, the Holy Ghost is powerless and the works done in the early church no longer exists. I invite every professing saint to ask God to fill them with the Holy Ghost and give them the mind (or heart) to have compassion for these souls out here - to be willing to do more than talk the Word, but also do the Word. You'll find that your relationship with God is much more rewarding when He's using you for the purpose He created you. WalkingTalkingBible |

Has the ministry of the Holy Ghost changed? It is foolishness to some who profess Christ to cast out devils, speak in tongues, heal the sick, raise the dead, etc. The Holy Ghost empowers the true Church to be witnesses to Him (Jesus), to do what? Bring souls to Him. How? By doing the works that He did. Is it that the Holy Ghost has changed or those who oppose are PROFESSING Christ but not POSSESSING the Holy Spirit? I'm very concerned.

110 | How do we understand these words? | John 6:63 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122234 | ||
Hi, Aixen7z4, what Angel has said I also agree with completely. You pose some very good points in your posts. One is the Bible translation. I want to encourage you to use whatever translation the Holy Ghost leads you to use (He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him). I agree with you totally: we must wait on Him! You also asked, "What happens when we do not wait for understanding, but turn away instead?" Paul was inspired to write in 2 Timothy 4:3-4, "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." The enemy of our souls is not concerned with which way we turn, as long as it is away from the truth. Patience is so important to our spiritual walk with God. Hebrews 10:36 says, "For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise." Because of the lack of patience (and a lot of pride), souls are being deceived. Thanks for giving us something important to think about. . . WalkingTalkingBible |

Hi, Searcher56, Matthew 16:19 says, "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Mark 16:17-18 says, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 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." A child of God is to walk in the Spirit which is to be lead of the Holy Ghost in all that we do. You speak as if you think of "casting out devils, (demons in our language)" to be 1)a ministry only needed in Haiti and 2)as if this ministry is some magical show. The Holy Ghost gives power to discern spirits and He also gives power to handle spirits. The Holy Ghost, who is God, also gives wisdom on what to do with spirits. If the Holy Ghost leads me to go to Haiti, I will, but I think there are enough DEVILS here in the U.S. to deal with. WalkingTalkingBible |

Thanks, jcsav, and you're right, the True Church hasn't changed. That's why when a spiritual truth is spoken, it is causes much persecution. But I rejoice! Broad is the way. . . and I'm going to stick to the truth as opposed to what I think and what theology and religion says. I believe that after the truth has been given, it's up to the individual to choose. I agree, also, that God always will have a Witness. Many are called, but few are chosen. WalkingTalkingBible |

115 | Is speaking in tongues a necessity ? | Acts 2:4 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122044 | ||
Hi Jilliebean, it is a lie that if you don't speak in tongues, you are not saved. What jcsav said is true, tongues are not of our own ability. The Holy Ghost is the same now as during Pentecost - no new movements or anything like that. It is written in 2 Timothy 3:16, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. . ." If we are going to do away with part of it, we might as well do away with it all. (kalos had given a website with Q/A on the baptism of the Holy Ghost and tongues. It's in line with the word of God.

116 | speaking in tongues | NT general Archive 1 | WalkingTalkingBible | 122042 | ||
Hi Ken John, along with what Prazn has answered, the Holy Ghost that was poured out on souls in Acts is the same Holy Ghost today. What has changed is the church. The in-dwelling of the Holy Ghost - the Spirit of God living inside the believer - empowers the believer to do the ministry that God has called him/her to do. Also, the Holy Ghost empowers the believer to serve God spiritually as opposed to doing what one thinks is right, or the best one can do (Acts 1:8). I've visited churches where people go through the routine sermon, sing some songs, take the offering, and go home. There's no power in religion. But I pray that you get a chance to get a relationship with God - one that's above knowing all of your Bible and theology (the devil also knows the Bible), but a genuine relationship where you actually get to know Him. He's a living Being! You'll find that the presence of God is unlike anything else in the world! Today, most of the time people speak in tongues is when they are rejoicing and praising and letting God have His complete way with them! It happens to me! There are believers, today, who have the gift of tongues and believers with the gift of interpretation. There's just no way you can have the presence of God Almighty and all you do is nod and clap your hands. God says in 1 Thessalonians 5:19, "Quench not the Spirit" and that's what has happened today. The Holy Ghost, that Fire, has been put out in many of the souls today. These walk around with their theology and knowledge of what the Bible says, dignified and prompt, but no real knowledge of who God is. They only know what the "book" says, they've never experienced anything. Although many teach that 2 Timothy 3:1-4 is talking about unbelievers, it is actually speaking of those who claim to believe. Verse 5 says, "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." Verse 7 of the same chapter says, "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." Jesus says in John 14:10-12: "Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." Notice He says, "he that believeth on Me" which refers to all who believe (commit to, trust, accept). We as believers have to choose to grow spiritually, God won't MAKE us do anything. We, as children of God, are responsible for bringing souls to Christ and the Holy Ghost is willing to empower us to do so, if we are willing to allow Him. (I guess this is why I was called a "false teacher" by many in this forum because I told of binding and loosing and casting out devils. I understand, now, that without the Holy Ghost, none of this can even be understood, let alone performed. Anyhow, I pray for the souls of all and say, "Let God be true and every man a liar") Your Sister in Christ, WalkingTalkingBible |

117 | Can a man be with another man | Bible general Archive 2 | WalkingTalkingBible | 121972 | ||
Hi, Towanda. God has given every human on this earth his/her own free will which means that the things we do, the lives we live are according to the choices we make. However, someone who has chosen Christ as Savior and has chosen to do the will of God, chooses the things of God via guidance of the Holy Ghost. A man can be with another man, but this is not of God. Leviticus 20:13 (Amplified Version) says, "If a man lies with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed an offense (something perverse, unnatural, abhorrent, and detestable); they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." According to Leviticus 18:22, homosexuality is an abomination to God: "You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination." This is not just an Old Testament teaching. It is written in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, "Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality, Nor cheats (swindlers and thieves), nor greedy graspers, nor drunkards, nor foulmouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God." Can a man? Yes, he does what he will to please his lustful desires. Should a man? No, it's against God. The same goes for women who participate in homosexuality. Does this answer your question?

118 | God is one | Gal 4:4 | WalkingTalkingBible | 121857 | ||
Hi, ucmenew! John 1:1-2,14a says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. . ." 1 John 5:7 says, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." God uses US because there are three functional manifestations of Him. Jesus, God's Word in the flesh, is whose image man (human)is made in: Hebrews 1:3a says, "Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person. . ." We weren't made in the image of the Father, He's a Spirit (John 4:24) and we weren't made in the image of the Holy Spirit, He's also Spirit (John 14:17). Man was made in the "likeness of God" in that man was made without sin and death (eternal). When man ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, sin entered and so did death (Isaiah 59:2; 1 Corinthians 15:21) making man very "unlike God and in need of a Savior.

I'm sorry (and very concerned) that you can't agree with what I've written about tongues, which were Scriptures. Please ask God to fill you with the Holy Ghost (we can never get too much). Also, Morant61 has given you the correct interpretation of the Scriptures you use to justify your stand on tongues. Kalos has given an excellent website with questions and answers about tongues and the Holy Ghost. Please read and ask God to open up your understanding.

120 | Explanation of Mat. 9:14-17 please | Matt 9:17 | WalkingTalkingBible | 121794 | ||
Hi, tgc. Your question is a good one (even though I'm responding two days later. . .). I agree with Emmaus and following Him (no offense to countrypreacher) about the Old and New Covenants. Also, in our time, since we are not really struggling between the Old and New Covenants, I would like to add that Matthew 9:14-17 also teaches us about learning the truth of the will of God with a fresh, open heart. In our times, there are many religions and cults that claim Christianity, and some of those people want to come to Christ. However, they are not willing to put down all of those things that they learned from their past. Old garment, in this case, would be those old teachings and the new garment would be the truth, the Word of God. One example as I see in dealing with new converts is that they believe, or have been taught that water baptism saves them. To fully get understanding of what baptism really is, they will have to "put away" those old teachings. Matthew 3:9-10 is a good reference to Matthew 9:14-17 and also 2 Corinthians 5:17.
