101 | Answering Anti-Missionary Arguements | Is 7:9 | mbooker | 63465 | ||
12. In Mark 6:5, it says that Yeshua "could do no miracle". However, Mark 10:27 says that "with G-d, all things are possible". Which is it? But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. Mark 6:4-5 In Matthew's account it gives the reason Jesus could not do might work: And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Matt 13:57-58 The people's unbelief was the problem. Considering the bible truth that Jesus 'did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief' and Mark 10:27, 'With God, all things are possible', I was lead to this scripture: Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:23 Thus I see no contradition between Mark 6:5 and Mark 10:27. Abba Father Bless... Meredith |

103 | Is praying to created beings scriptural? | Bible general Archive 1 | mbooker | 62785 | ||
Hank #2 gave me a chuckle! And I whole heartily agree that we have enough enemies outside the body without having to war within the body. Our Lord and Brother said: A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 13:34-35 May all the world know that we are his disciples by the love we have (and show) for one another.

104 | what does this mean to us? | 1 Cor 11:32 | mbooker | 62673 | ||
Good Afternoon SirPent You said 'Paul then says in this verse that this “sickness” is a God’s way of disciplining those people.' I do not understand what you mean. vv 29-30 explain why many are weak and sickly and why many sleep. Are you saying God punishes those that eat and drink unworthy with sickness?

105 | Saved vs. Works (John 5:24 and 5:28-29) | John 5:24 | mbooker | 60757 | ||
Good Morning Brother John! I appreciate your statement 'We are saved by faith alone, but not by a faith that is alone' Just yesterday, I was thinking about what Paul said ('For by grace are we saved thru faith... not of works' Eph 2:8-9) vs what James said in Jam 2:18-22 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And I came to the conclusion that a work is simply external evidence of our faith/what we believe. Again, I appreciate your statement. It was beautifully said and I think I'm going to remember it for a long time :). Abba Father Bless you... Meredith |

106 | How can anyone be saved? | 1 Cor 2:14 | mbooker | 60568 | ||
Good Afternoon Brother John!! I am smiling as I read this post because I think I see eye-to-eye with you! :) I was under the impression that the Reformed View believed that the gospel was an invitation, not to all, but only to the elect. But from your post, I have been corrected in my impression! :) I too believe that the gospel is open to all but it will only benefit/save those that believe in Christ. I am sooo excited about this moment of unity!! :) Have a blessed day Abba Father bless... Meredith |

107 | How can anyone be saved? | 1 Cor 2:14 | mbooker | 60492 | ||
Good Afternoon Brother John Since 'the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God' how were we(those that are born again) able to receive/believe on Jesus? Aren't we all 'natural' men prior to being born again? Another question: The Amp version refers to the 'the natural, nonspiritual man'. Is it possible to be born again but still be 'nonspiritual' or immature ('HOWEVER, BRETHREN, I could not talk to you as to spiritual (men), but as to nonspiritual (men of the flesh, in whom the carnal nature predominates), as to mere infants (in the new life) in Christ (unable to talk yet!) 1 Cor 3:1)? Though I still don't see this issue the way you do, it has been interesting and challenging reading thru the thread. Abba Father Bless you... Meredith |

108 | Where to give tithes? | Mal 3:10 | mbooker | 60272 | ||
Oh ok... I see First I would ask if you are sure your current church is where God has lead you to be. I would wonder, especially since you said you don't see God's work being supported by the tithes. If, however, you are sure that your current church is where you are to be, then my advice would be to give it to that church. Otherwise, seek God's guidance as to where you are to be... then give your tithes there. Abba Father Bless... |

109 | Can I choose where to tithe? | Mal 3:10 | mbooker | 60262 | ||
Once a friend asked if they should take the tithe and help someone who needed money for something. My advice to them was 'no' because Mal 3 says to bring the tithe to the storehouse. Currently, I equate my local church with the storehouse in Mal 3. I haven't yet found in scripture where the tithe was given to someone who was in greater need instead of bringing it to the storehouse (church). I think I also suggested that they help out as best they could but give the tithe to their church. Abba Father Bless... |

110 | Born and Adopted | 1 Pet 1:23 | mbooker | 60255 | ||
I am seeking to understand the following verses: You have been regenerated (born again), not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm), but from one that is immortal by the ever living and lasting Word of God. I Pet 1:23 To purchase the freedom of (to ransom, to redeem, to atone for) those who were subject to the Law, that we might be adopted and have sonship conferred upon us (and be recognized as God's sons). Gal 4:5 For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will (because it pleased Him and was His kind intent) Eph 1:5 In the natural, I was born into the Booker family and have no need to be adopted into the Booker family. Since we have been born of imperishable seed(and I take this to mean we are born into God’s family), why do we need to be adopted? If anyone has any insight, I would be grateful for your time. Thanks in advance to those who may respond… :) Abba Father Bless… |

Yes, religion may do that to you but… ‘where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty’ 2 Cor 3:17 and a man named Jesus, aka ‘The Truth’ (John 14:6) , makes us free :) sorry Sir Pent :), but when I read the post, the above came up in me :).

112 | A Loving GOD Who Hates | Mal 1:3 | mbooker | 59942 | ||
Good Morning All! I have read this verse before and I did not understand how God, who is love, could hate. Last week, a sister came to me and asked if I had ever read the verse and I told her 'yes'. We looked up this verse in other versions and all used the word 'hate' except the NLT, which uses 'rejected'. We both want to understand how our loving God could hate. Does anyone have any insight into this verse? Thanks in advance to those who may response. Abba Father bless... |

113 | Why does God love the world (us)? | Genesis | mbooker | 59418 | ||
Hi Hank :) To be honest, I am not clear on all the ins and outs of predestination and election. In this post, I was expressing to John what I understood him to be saying. I was not saying I agreed with what I stated in the post, only that that was what I understood him to be saying. btw, I'm simple and unsophistcated too :). I'm just seeking to rightly understand scripture in my own simply way then live out scripture in my life so that I can be a living espistle. Abba Father bless you and keep you... Meredith |

Hi Brother John OK, I think I see where you are coming from but let me personalize it. 1. God predestined the Fall 2. If I sin/fall, God has predestined for me to sin/fall 3. While I sin for evil reasons, God however predestined me to sin for His end purpose Maybe I’m simplifying it, but what I seek to do is get understand of biblical principles then apply them to myself. And you may be right. Maybe we won’t fully understanding it this side of heaven but 1 Cor 2:15-16 caught my attention one day and propels me to search out and seek knowledge and understanding of my Father’s heart. “But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern or appraise or get an insight into him]. For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart” Abba Father bless… Meredith |

Good Morning Brother John! So, my first question wasn’t hard enough huh? :) OK, I believe I understand where you are coming from so far. As for Acts 4:27-28, did God predestine Jesus’ dying (the lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world Rev 13:8) because: 1. He predestined Adam and Eve to disobey, thus the need for Jesus’ sacrifice or 2. He already knew from the beginning that Adam and Eve would disobey His commandment When you say, ‘His will will be done’, I think back to the beginning. In the Garden of Eden when God "commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die", I would say that it was God’s will that Adam eat freely, except for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. When "the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat", I would say they were going against what God told them i.e. going against His will. Adam and Eve had the ability to go against God’s commandment/will and they did. But they also suffered the consequences of going against Him. And in spite of their disobedience, God was ready with a plan (Jesus) to redeem man. I think of what Jesus said about Jerusalem: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God's messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn't let me." Luke 13:34 God told Moses "Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering." Exodus 25:2 I guess the best way I can express my view is this God wills for us to come to Him with a willing heart (whosoever will, let him come). At this point, I believe if we are not willing, He won’t override our will and control us to the point that we will come. Hope I wasn't confussing in my reply... :) Abba Father Bless Meredith |

Good! :) When you say "The Reformed view sees God as exercising absolute control over all of his creation", my mind says "OK. All of God’s creation does what He wants them to do". Is my thinking incorrect? Abba Father Bless Meredith |

Hi Brother John I have been reading these posts and wondered if you wouldn't mind engaging me in a bit of dialouge. I admit up front :) that I do not have the same view as you concerning this but I want to share with you my thought process and I want to correctly understand your view. I'm also not sure if this (the forum) would be the place for us to go back and forth, but if its OK, I would appreciate your time. Abba Father Bless |

120 | Acts 14:5 | Gen 41:51 | mbooker | 59346 | ||
Gen 35:22-26 lists Israel's sons. Rev 5-8 lists the tribes of Isreal. Manasses(Manasseh OT spelling), I believe, is Joesph's first born (Gen 41:51). Joseph married Asenath while he ws in Egypt (Gen 41:45). Assuming that Asenath was Egyptian, the tribe of Manasses could be the tribe considered to be of 'African' decent. |
