1121 | Adam and Eve Perfect or Flawed | 1 Tim 2:11 | skccab | 208183 | ||
Shalom Steve and all y'all, I had no idea the original question would get so much attention but I'm glad it did. :-) I had mused on it all last night and just couldn't come up with a conclusion on my own. I thank everybody who has joined in the discussion, a lot of really good views to consider. Cheri |

Shalom Chuck, How are you tonight? Now I have wondered about the tree of life in the New City, but for different reasons; maybe you can help me. If we have glorified bodies and sin has been cast into the lake of fire along with satan, and only the "saved" are present, what do we need the tree of life for, why do the "nations" need to be healed, and healed of what? Can you help me out here? I've wondered about this for a long long time :-) Cheri |

1123 | Which commandment was he talking about? | 1 Tim 6:14 | skccab | 201783 | ||
Amen to that WOS!! And then it's not a sitting back in our easy chair just blowing out "love" wishes - as faith without works is dead (Jas. 2:17) so love without corresponding actions is useless (Jas. 2:15-16). Shalom Cheri |

1125 | god speaking to israel | 2 Tim 2:15 | skccab | 186340 | ||
Asher, Are you wanting to know where in the Bible God spoke audibly to the people of Israel? If so, one of those times can be found in Exodus 19:20 thru 20:20. Blessings Cheri |

1126 | Oxford Study vs Oxford Annotated Bibles | 2 Tim 2:15 | skccab | 204283 | ||
Shalom dear bros, Hank and Gye, There are 2 bibles that I personally own that are great for those of us visually challenged: The Foundations NASB at 14 pt font (no amenities tho, just scripture and a few references at the end of verses), it's about 10"x9"x2", very carry-aroundable. The other is a Nelson Thomas NKJV center reference at 12 pt font, sized 9"x6 1/4"x1 1/2", also no amenities (that is no study helps), just scripture, a minor concordance and that's it - but I'll take the easy reading and portability over a study bible that is painful to read cos I won't read it! :-) Cheri |

1127 | Is NASB better than other translations? | 2 Tim 2:15 | skccab | 212005 | ||
Shalom MJH, have you tried this link: http://www.scripture4all.org/ It gives the Hebrew and Greek text as well as a choice of several different English translations and the Heb/Gr part is connected to Strongs. It is free software. (I haven't figured out how to completely use all of its features yet, pooh.) The only complaint that I have with it, is that the Hebrew transliteration is not the best that I've seen (and even there I'm no expert, no where near lol), it's a bit difficult to make out sometimes. I don't know, but maybe this site might help you with the book of Hebrews? Cheri |

1128 | Is NASB better than other translations? | 2 Tim 2:15 | skccab | 212009 | ||
Shalom MJH Actually, no, it's not like e-sword (which I love and thank God for Rick Meyers), it's quite different. I guess they just survived. It's like cell phones. I still survive quite nicely without one - I'm totally cell ignorant!! (Mainly, it's I cannot see to read all the little buttons on cells to work them - in my defense of ignorance there hahaha) Cheri |

1129 | Theology of Glory versus the Cross | 2 Tim 3:13 | skccab | 195163 | ||
Shalom y'all, I personally am not a "fan" of Joel (tho I did like his daddy, John, some 30 years ago), but I believe he can be and is used of God. In accordance with predestination/pre-election it seems to me that those who hear what he teaches and come in for whatever they can gain and not to learn of the Lord are lost anyway. Those who are truly called of God to seek Him and find their way into Osteen's "camp" (or one of the many others) because of its visibility, will eventually be led by the Spirit to where they need to be. Luke 9:49 John answered and said, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name; and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow along with us." Luke 9:50 But Jesus said to him, "Do not hinder him; for he who is not against you is for you." Just my 2cents worth Cheri |

Hey John, Thanks for that excerpt. I never knew John O personally of course, just listened some 30 years ago to his cassette tapes. He seemed to have a good heart, and love for God. I had never heard that of him before, sad to see he was mistaken in some areas. Maybe I'm a "softie" but in John's defense, just because he was deceived, doesn't mean that he was a deceiver by intention (we are not the readers of hearts and motives). :-) Nor that he, too, could not have been used of God for Godly purposes. I've got 2 dear sweet sisters under Joel's tutelage (?) right now and I'm treading those waters very carefully. My screaming bad bad bad could do more damage to their young faith than his teachings can, I think. Or at least that's what I'm trying to avoid. Pray for them and for me, that I listen to what the Spirit tells me to say to them. I meet with one every week and she's hungry for the Word of Truth. Cheri |

Doc, I've already stated that I am not a fan of Joel, I've got 2 people following his weekly TV show that I'm wanting to get them away. I think I have one now that is only watching cos it creates a bond with her real-life sister (whom I'm not personally friends with yet). What I'm saying is that the person who is truly called of God to come will eventually find that Joel's teachings are greatly lacking and they will seek the Word elsewhere (Was it a terrible thing that Joel got them started?) For the ones who go to Joel purely for what they can gain in the world and in the fleshly realm would not hear the true gospel anyway for they are not answering to the call of the Spirit - they are answering the call of their own flesh. (And while Joel and the many others of his genre are touting the fleshly "gospel" they can and probably do keep many from being downright "lawless" and point them to a somewhat higher directive.) I am in no way "for" these guys, I don't think that they are a "great thing" but they do serve a purpose. And to think that someone who is truly called of God to become a child of God could be misled and kept from their salvation in Yeshua by their teachings seems to me to be limiting the power of God's calling and limiting the power and ability of the Holy Spirit to accomplish that work.

Hi Azure, I guess what I was trying to say is: concerning the ones who are "in it" for their own gain, not the ones who are truly called to the Word of God - isn't it better for society that they be busy at "playing church" than out dealing drugs, robbing 7-11s, cavorting with our children to do them harm, etc? I've probably just dug a deeper hole for myself, but there you have it, I've said it. Cheri |

1133 | Theology of Glory versus the Cross | 2 Tim 3:13 | skccab | 195188 | ||
Azure, You are most likely right :-) I'm gonna climb outa my hole I dug, brush off and keep on going forward. Praise God for all of you folks! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem Cheri |

Doc, Much appreciated. And I agree completely. I don't want to sit back and watch "good" people go under false teachings. (I was one of those people once, a long time ago.) But can't we do it without bashing those that we are standing against? Certainly, we don't raise them up, but can't we calmly present The Way (the better way) without calling names, pointing fingers, and basically sounding like them? Cheri |

1135 | Theology of Glory versus the Cross | 2 Tim 3:13 | skccab | 195225 | ||
Doc, Yes, I agree, call any of them to the front. (I'm out of Copeland's teachings and I'm still finding things he said popping up in my memory even tho it's been over 2 decades since I used to listen to him and I'd really like to forget!). I was speaking of when we talk to others who are in their "camp" so to speak. Don't you think there is a better way to draw them to the true teachers without finger pointing, and bad-mouthing those they are listening to? Maybe I'm the exception, but when 20 years ago someone starting talking bad about Kenneth I would just hold the more tightly and defend him and wouldn't listen to what was being said. If those people might have simply showed me what the Bible said against what Kenneth was teaching, I probably would have listened more. I'm personally trying to get someone away from Joel's "feel good" gospel, but I'm treading carefully because of my past experiences. I'm trying real hard not to lift him up but also not to tear him down. He's the one that got her to pur chase a Bible and to read it (well, really, it was the Holy Spirit, but Joel is the one she's been watching on TV). I'm seeing her again tonight, pray I hear the words the Lord wants me to speak - she's sooo close!! Shalom Cheri |

May I use a picture that I was taught many years ago? It's a picture of a game reserve: in the very center (near the Throne) we are very protected (not completely as we are still in the world, and the world will always have troubles), as we move away from the center of protection (walking more in our own ways) we become more vulnerable to the worlds woes and the adversary. As we move further away, we eventually will cross that invisible line where there is no protection (for we are now totally out of the will of the Father) and the adversary can legally attempt to harm us. It's a worldly type picture, I know, but one that rang true and has helped me understand when things start going terribly wrong that I'm getting way too far away from God's protective wings that He wants so for us to stay under. I pray this helps you Cheri |

Hi Doc, Maybe I've read the book wrong, but I see Job as a man who has lost sight of the true worship of God and fallen into self-righteous conceits. Would that not in itself open him up to the fiery arrows of the adversary? And also, it seems that it is the adversary doing all the bad deeds. God is just not stopping it. It's a hard book to understand, have I totally misunderstood it? still learning Cheri |

P.S. You always seem to come up with something for me to think about. You just won't let me stop thinking!!! Thank you. Cheri |

1139 | God allowing things in our lives | 2 Tim 3:16 | skccab | 193852 | ||
Gye, Thank you. I do agree that the Father can and does get involved with His children in ways that to us seem to be not "good." A failing business, to cause that child to re-think what he/she's doing, maybe the purchase of a much-wanted home seems to be getting thwarted, to cause that child to re-think what he/she's doing, not getting the promotion so eagerly sought, etc. But I don't think the Father would put something as horrible as cancer or aids on His child to teach a lesson. Neither do I think that the person who has cancer or aids or any of those horrible diseases is a person out of God's will or unsaved or being punished. We may not be of the world but we are in it and therefore subject to the bad things that are here. And like you cited in 2 Cor. 12, if we give it to Him it can all be used to His glory!! And in Him we are MORE than conquerors! Cheri |

But, Doc, if you die from that (which in itself isn't a bad thing ;-) ), but then you couldn't be conformed here on earth for others to see and give glory to God - which is where His glory needs to be seen. So what purpose would it serve? There is affliction and then there is that which kills. I just can't see the Father doing that which kills to His children. I do understand the Judge and Father differentitation (the Father actually holds a much higher standard than the Judge). Once again, I just can't see that which kills coming from the Father to teach a lesson. I liked Watson and Hendryx especially. I will rethink my position. I can agree in many areas but there are some that just ring too harsh according to Matt. 9:7-11 and James 1:17. still learning Cheri |
