121 | "Who ONCE were disobedient" is about? | Matthew | GeorJoy | 93655 | ||
Aw... You are a bunch of wonderful codgers. Wait till you experience the "Great Grandchildren." When you hear your youngest son being called Grandpaw, or your darling daughter being called Grandma, you realize that your mind simply hasn't caught up with the age of the bod. What a blessing it is that we should live to see and share with them! George |

122 | do you pay tithe on loan money | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93648 | ||
While I had my small business going, I had a bit of a delima of sorts where "required" tithing was concerned. I started out tithing my gross. then I started studying scripture to see what the Word said. My determination was primarily based on Pr 3:9 Pro 3:9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: Pro 3:10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. I'll admit 3:10 made me feel really good, for although some would say that is not why we should tithe, it is still a promice that we can bank on. Although I did not, and do not feel that the Lord expects me to continue to tithe my gross, and considering the fact that my gross includes payment for materials which I purchased in the first place, I have done so since the beginning. As yourself, I feel that anything above and beyond is an offering, and if the Lord blesses me, why shouldn't I spread that blessing. Try as one may, the Lord can't be outgiven. One last thought; Jam 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. So what I do, is not nesssisarily what someone else should do, and vice versa, as long as we are both following the guidelines laid down in scripture and not robbing our Lord with a lack of tithing all together. God Bless George |

123 | no patience and abrasive... | Bible general Archive 2 | GeorJoy | 93536 | ||
Thanks Hank. Your note is well taken and appreciated. Dogmatic though? I beg to differ. Per Mr. W 1 : positiveness in assertion of opinion especially when unwarranted or arrogant (I strive to, and believe I have, for the greatest part avoided opinion, unless otherwise noted and commented that I can find no biblical foundation for my assertions. Unwarranted? Perhaps, I may on occasion allow a bit too much salt in the stew. Arrogant? If The Word is arrogant, then I admit my guilt.) 2 : a viewpoint or system of ideas based on insufficiently examined premises. (I challenge and even request this definition be proven on a post by myself.) I know it is all in the eye of the beholder. But Black is black. White is white, right is right, and wrong is wrong BUT, the Word IS THE word. There is NO gray area therein You are one hundred percent correct in your presumption. I am sure that I have some rough and abrasive edges, however, life has taught me that the Word is generally abrasive to those who insist on continuing in their ignorance and blindness I understand what you are saying. I applaud your statement and will ponder thereon for quiet some time to come. Thanks for your time, Hank. And… if I continue my input to this forum, I would like to hear your thoughts in about a year, concerning this matter once again Brothers in our Lord George |

125 | adultrus marriage, a "marriage" in Gods | Matt 5:31 | GeorJoy | 93208 | ||
Oh Praise His MIGHTY name! And give thanks for those such as yourself. What a testimony! "What GOD hath joined together." I will say that, God has never joined an adulturer together. "man reminds us all the days of our lives." So true. So true. It is our responsibility to spread the Word in it's UNLEAVENED purity. I love the faxcimially thought. I admire you DAIRYLEADER5. Please read my notes concerning this matter and give me your thoughts thereon. My eMail is geobro@pngusa.net Post them if you like, email if you wish. I have been flamed, blasphemen and insulted, yet I hold fast to what I have stated. My only remorse concerning my notes is in the nagging questions below; 1) have I gone too far in standing firm on the Word? 2)Should I have refrained from responding to the one and only one, who simply could not, or would not comprehend the very Word that I quoted?" As it turns out, the originator of this particular topic, (newoldstock)fell in to the category of my 1st note and all is well where he is concerned. But my notes seem to touch the very nerve of one certin individual. I can not for the life of me understand why. I know that I am often blunt. I also know that where the Word is concerned, I can not and will not be swayed. DAIRYLEADER5, your response and comments concerning your observation of my notes in this thread will be very much appreciated. In Christ George |

127 | Should a divorced person remarry? | Matt 5:31 | GeorJoy | 93201 | ||
I never made such a statement. However, does 2 pluss 2 equal 4? Add it up. ....... If one is living in sin. (pluss) one is forgiven of sin (equals) one does not continue in sins of the past. Forgiveness clenses one of sin. Continued sin dirties. Forgiveness does not come without repentance. Forgiveness does not change the fact that sin is sin. God Bless George |

Praise the Lord. Thank you newoldstock for your final response. I wish that others could read as well as yourself, for it is evident that you have read and understood my original note which has sparked an inferno of misinterpritations, insinuations, and downright childishness on the part of many respondants. God Bless, and thanks for the study of the word that that your note has generated where I am concerned. George |

130 | adultrus marriage, a "marriage" in Gods | Matt 5:31 | GeorJoy | 93196 | ||
Thanks Mommapbs for your mature response on this topic. I only reciently discovered the truth of your statement “if the immoral partner chose not to repent I would say that divorce is justified in the word." I can’t remember where it is, but as best I can, I will paraphrase what I can remember of the scripture. “If the unbelieving partner chooses to leave, the believer is not bound.” “(deeply loved, completely forgiven, totally approved, accepted and reconciled as a new creature in Jesus,)” is a fact. However, I will admit that I may be wrong, but it is my stern belief is that “repentance” is an absolute necessity, not an optional choice. And how can one have "repented" if they are cintinuing in the sin? Forgiveness is for past and present sins, not a free ticket to continue in sin or a changing of the fact that a particular sin is a sin. Your note makes me ponder my belief deeply. You asked, “Don't you think that some might use this notion (not a marriage in God's eyes) as an excuse to dishonor the very relationship that God created and affirmed in the Garden?” I don’t know where the relationship that God created and affirmed in the Garden comes into play concerning my statement, for there most assuredly was no adultery therein, however I don’t doubt that not some, but many would use my notion, as they would any other biblical notion, to dishonor anything that God created, particularly His living word. I know that many do it through ignorance, but there is a point where ignorance has to either take the path of knowledge, or remain in their ignorance. I will not bend to their play of words and insistence on spreading their ignorance. Would God reconise a marriage between two men? I am sure there are just as many who will argue that point, for I was also flamed for my notes on homosexuality. If I am not mistaken the major flamer on this post, had some flames to throw therein as well. What is the difference between a homosexual and an adulterer? Are they not both sins against the flesh? As to Hosea 3:1. That took place during the 1st covenant. Christ, you will remember, stated in Mat 5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: -----and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.---- As I said in my very first note concerning this subject, “Dear friend, I can not answer your question. Nor can any other man. Many will voice their thoughts, including myself.” It is with deep sorrow and pity that I read the blasphemy and insults heaped upon myself for having quoted scripture and voiced my thoughts on this subject. Perhaps I myself have been overly blunt, but what I have stated is biblical and I therefore make absolutely no apologies. If what I say offends anyone, and it seems that there is at least one in this forum that everything I say offends, I can only say that if I have stated anything that I can not back up with scripture, then I am a liar, otherwise it might be wise of those who disagree to either do some deeper study of the word or simply keep the insinuations to themselves, for though I pray constantly about it, even I am not immune to anger and an occasional improper response. Can’t we agree to disagree? Thanks for your mature response on the point my friend. God Bless George |

justme. I am so thankfull you are just you and I am me. Please do not respond to any more of my notes. I will do likewise. Should you choose to ignore this request again, you can expect more of what seems to insult you so much, "undeluted Word." Charlie, my quotes are dirrectly from scripture. My paraphrases are based thereon as well. You have every right to disagree with me, but when I quote scripture dirrectly, and you or anyone disagrees, it is not my place to argue the point. I may attempt to clarify, but some have no desire for clarification. They only desire justification. If I am harsh, forgive me. If I am quoting dirrect scripture and being attacked for doing so, I am going to put it like it is, whether it offends or not. God Bless George |

My friend, you can play your word games all you want. I am not interested in a debate with anyone who, in a botched attempt to display intelligence, pens such a flowery, meaningless use of words, and twisting of scripture, as what is displayed in your post. Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Where scripture is concerned, I know many facts, and one is that your tactics are described therein as well as others I have noted. Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, “after the tradition of men,” after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 1Ti 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 1Ti 6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 1Ti 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. As I have stated in previous posts; “even Satan can quote scripture, when it appears to serve his purpose, and desire.” I thus withdraw myself from any further debate on this particular topic, for I have presented the truth of the word. If anyone will accept it, Praise the Lord, otherwise, Lord forgive them, for they know not what they do. With respectful prayers toward all who have participated and, or read these notes on the topic of a “33 year old ongoing sin” of adultery; “is it justified or no?” Scripture says NO. Scripturally, the marriage was never recognised in the eyes of God from the first day, and though the sinners may have been forgiven, they have by no means been granted a “free to continue in sin” ticket. Like it or not; IT IS THE WORD…. IT IS CALL ED (REPENTANCE,) PEOPLE! REPENTANCE… Once again, per Mr. Webster it means intransitive senses 1 : to "turn from sin" and dedicate oneself to the amendment of one's life 2 a : to feel regret or contrition b : to change one's mind transitive senses 1 : to cause to feel regret or contrition 2 : to feel sorrow, regret, or contrition for –repenter noun R E P E N T A N C E… George |

Since I was just about to enter my teens. I am nearly over the hill now. The answer to your second questions depends on what you mean by active. I am an active church goer. I strive to let His light shine through me where ever I go and what ever I do. Although I currently attend a Penticostal Church Of God, I consider myself "non denominational." If they preach the Holy Bible, what difference does denomination make? I am an active bible student and have been since my late teens. You have read my profile, haven't you? It is a concise picture of my way of thinking, along with a smidgen of personal history. I am in the process of completing a degree in theology. I have a goal to be in full service of our Lord before I get "over the hill." As I recall, you said you went "over the hill" about 8 years ago. I'm looking forward to seeing if the grass is really greener on the other side. "I'm using the over the hill thing in jest." George |

None interprited. There were no insinuations intended in my response. I simply felt that it rightly discribed what is the general state of mind today. I'm not speaking of the Christian in general. Simply the mind set of many who call themselves Christians and many who are sucked into believing that salvation is without repentance, giving them a "free to sin ticket," and thus the word is deluted to a state of stinch.

Under the circumstances......... And considering previous discussions...... Who knows and who is to say. It almost sounds erie though. I quit trying to figure such things a long time ago. There is no common sense approach to things any more. I sometimes think that my greatest mistakes are in having thought that I was mistaken. "JUST JOKING. I once heard "The Fonze" say that on Happy Days. George |

Thanks for what I will consider a compliment, for personally, I like onions. They come in various varietys. Some strong, some weak. They tend to add flavor to the stew, and often highlight the dish. Some can't stomach them. Others know just how to take them. Unlike Onions however, figs tend to churn up the stomach and often cause a digestive movement that tends to create a seriously bad smell. With a real rose comes thorns. When one is afraid of getting pricked and removes the thorns, he no longer has a rose bush, and it eventually dies. I see too many "thornless rose gardens." They tend to create the same stinch as does the final movement caused by the fig. Take care George |

charley, against my better judgement, I will address this topic once again. If you desire scripture, go back and review my notes on this topic. If a child of yours is, lets say, cheating on tests in school, and that child comes to you and asks your forgiveness, what are you going to do? You love that child dearly. You may insist that that child admits his dishonesty to his teacher, you may not. Either way you are going to forgive that child. Now, what happens when two months later you find out that that same child is "still" cheating on tests. What are you going to do? Does the fact a your child was forgiven the first time give that child a free ticket to continue in his or her dishonesty? IT IS CALLED REPENTANCE, PEOPLE! REPENTANCE. R E P E N T A N C E. . . . . Does no one responding to this topic wnderstand the meaning of that word? Or does everyone think that salvation means they have a "free to continue in sin" ticket? Does salvation change the fact that a sin is a sin? It washes the sinner, but they dirty themselves immediately again, and if there is no real repentance, where is salvation? Why did the originataor of this topic make his post in the first place. Can no one see the Holy Spirits conviction apon that person? Remove the motes from your eyes. And then, read your bibles. You will find that your ignorance has already been discribed in the NT. If I seem blunt, it is only due to the fact that I am sick of the "sugar coated" non scence that I am seeing and hearing concerning scripture. If I answer a question, I will quote scripture. If pressed, or if I feel the need, I will give my biblically based interpritation thereof. The more I am pressed, the more "scripturally blunt I will become. I have quoted scripture. Everyone seems to want to argue what I have quoted. Argue all you want folks. But, as I have said at least three times in in this topic alone, "if you want to argue scripture, take your arguments to the originator. I am only a messenger." Too many today just want to hear what it is they want to hear. Why do you think there are so many different denominations? Good Night dear bretheren, and God rest this topic. George |
